As years go by, seasons change and trends evolve, a luxury watch is a timeless accessory that every lady should have in their jewellery collection. But with so many brands and models available, choosing the perfect timepiece to invest in can be a difficult decision.
Like many great successes in the history of watchmaking, the story of the Oris brand starts in Switzerland. It all began with the closure of Lohner & Co, a watch factory situated in the Swiss town of Hölstein. In 1904, Oris founders Paul Cattin and Georges Christian – who both originated from Le Locle – decided to revitalise the factory and establish their very own watchmaking business.
WHY BUY A ORIS WATCH
Since 1904, Oris has been crafting watches that exude quality and style. It is one of the small handful of Swiss watch brands that make only mechanical watches and showcase their beauty, designed according to principles that have been around for generations and will continue long into the future.
Oris manufactures top models for consumers and collectors alike. One such model is the Audi Sport Black Dial, a special edition timepiece created in celebration of the brand’s partnership with Audi Sport. Another highlight is the Force Recon GMT, which offers water resistance up to a staggering 1,000 metres. In turn, the Big Crown 1917 – which is limited to corresponding 1917 pieces – is often cited as being one of the brand’s most successful reinterpretations of the vintage aesthetic.

Are Oris watches collectable?
Yes, oris watches are collectable for a number of reasons. As one of the few independent Swiss watchmakers still in operation, Oris has continually produced high-quality watches ever since its establishment in 1904. That heritage expresses itself in the brand’s craftsmanship and attention to detail, solidifying its popularity amongst luxury watch enthusiasts. The sheer variety of timepieces constructed by Oris is another reason why the brand has become sought-after by collectors. With hundreds of desirable models spanning each of its timeless collections, the search for the latest and greatest models is always in full swing. The brand’s decision to exclusively produce mechanical watches also affords it particular status amongst fervent watchmaking traditionalists.
Is Oris a luxury watch brand?
Yes, Oris is a luxury watch brand, and its reputation as a luxury brand is partly a result of its specialist approach. Unlike the broad strategy employed by mainstream watchmakers such as Seiko, Oris focuses solely on the core principles of Swiss watchmaking. From the brand’s trademark mechanical movements to the strict quality controls necessary to retain the ‘Swiss-made’ label, the Oris name commands significant admiration throughout the industry.
Are Oris watches a good investment?
Oris watches are a good investment because the exceptional design, construction and materials involved in the manufacture mean it can hold significant value over a longer period of time. Having said that, the investment potential of an Oris timepiece is largely dependent on the desirability of the watch and the degree to which it is cared for. Most luxury watches decrease in value shortly after purchase, but investing in a particularly rare, desirable or attractively priced model can prove to be financially attractive.
