If you were to ask most people to name the biggest problem facing the watch industry these days, most people would reply that too many watches these days look too modern and are more concerned about being fashionable than simply telling the time. A growing segment of the population is yearning for a well made watch that is reminiscent of a time gone by. Luckily, the people at Oris have heard this call and are providing the world with a natural, simpler alternative to overly stylized watches. Let’s take a closer look at Oris and the wonderful world of Oris wristwatches.
The Oris company dates back over 100 years and although Oris is today one of the most respected Swiss watch makers in the world, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for this legendary company. When Oris wristwatches first hit the market, they became an instant hit. Not only did they sport the signature Swiss quality that has everyone now knows and loves, but they also made a line of more affordable watches which opened up whole new markets. But changes in technology and the Oris commitment to keep watches both affordable and well made meant that Oris appeared to many to be out of touch with the latest styles and designs. As the 1970’s and 80’s wore on and the rush to digital watches increased, the future of Oris and their commitment to analog time keeping looked bleak. But the designers and craftsman at Oris didn’t just accept defeat. They reinvented themselves by producing watches with old fashioned styles and extremely high quality. The result is that Oris is now more legendary than ever and the appeal of this once fading company is higher than ever. Even famous movie stars and professional athletes wear Oris wristwatches over more prestigious brands like Rolex. Oris wristwatches are now often seen in many Hollywood films because of their truly unique look and original style. The makers of Oris even sponsor a Formula 1 racing team, an ironic combination of a company committed to making things the old fashioned way and a sport bent on taking advantage of the latest in technology. Today, Oris is flying high and is again one of the most respected watch makers in the world thanks to their high standards and top quality.
