Founded by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in the little Swiss town of Hölstein, industrial watchmaking has been at the heart of Oris since its creation in 1904. With craftsmanship in the company’s DNA, Oris remains a symbol of precision present in different spheres such as race car driving, diving and aviation. Their mechanical watches always conform to the motto of “things must make sense” and this can be seen through the quality of work put into their watches. One of the only independent Swiss manufactures creating mechanical timepieces, Oris proudly boasts deep-rooted principles that have been around for generations and will continue for long into the future. Oris continues to create its own path, sticking to its manifesto of “go your own way”.
Oris is one of the oldest brands in the Maison Cadrans family, joining in 1954, and the deep-rooted partnership has been flourishing ever since. As one of the last remaining independent Swiss manufactures, Oris has long been the brand of choice for well-made mechanical timepieces. Always innovating whilst staying true to deep-rooted values, Maison Cadrans appreciates the humility and family nature of this iconic timepiece manufacture.
