For those of you unfamiliar with Oris...strap on your seatbelts. This is not a company made up of mere watchmakers, they are watch designers. From their small factory in Switzerland, Oris has been designing superior quality watches for over 100 years. The world's leading manufacturer of mechanical watches (watches that run without a battery) has many fans singing their praises. Oris watches have very distinct style. For example, the diver's series is modeled after the design of diving equipment. With Oris, the design comes first, and then the function is implemented. Following these principles has given Oris an edge and appeal to professional divers, and that appeal has resonated across the board to pilots, formula one drivers, even celebrities. Oris has never produced anything but mechanical watches and they have perfected this art. Flip an Oris watch over and you will discover that the back may just have more design elements than the front. All of their watches have a windowed back casing, which allows the inner workings of the watch to be visible. From the meticulous mechanical movements to the trademark Red Rotor, all of the innovative, state-of-the-art beauty can be witnessed. But back to the Oris roots...design. These watches have a long line of sponsors in the fast-paced worlds of aviation and racing, but they have developed a following among artists, like Jazz musicians as well. The philosophy of Oris is based in art and design. Having a great respect for the legendary Jazz musicians, Oris has launched limited edition lines dedicated to these greats of music. The newest in this series is the Bob Dylan. Oris has made its way to Hollywood as well. Many of us are drawn to strong, distinctive elements and movie stars are no exception. The Oris stands out and makes a bold statement. You can find an Oris on the wrist of many celebrities from Harrison Ford to Keanu Reeves. As impressive as all the accolades are, Oris set out to design incredible timepieces, and they succeeded. Oris watches are one of a kind. They are amazing pieces of machinery, and Oris has managed to make them beautiful as well. You certainly don't have to be a world-class diver, a jet pilot, a formula one driver, or a Hollywood movie star to fall in love with these watches. You should, however, have an appreciation for the innovative artisans and craftsman that brought it to you. Oris continues to design ever-changing creations. Keeping up with the times and attracting attention from all creative types. I can't wait for their next exhibit.
