In 1904, two men born in Le Locle, the watchmaking capital situated in the Swiss Jurassic region, Paul Cattin and Georges Christian bought the watch company Lohner & Co and with 24 workmen founded a watchmaking factory in Hölstein, a small village in the north-western part of Switzerland. Oris is the name of a valley and a brook close to Hölstein. From 1925, the watch manufactory produced rather inexpensive, however, high-quality wristwatches.

A year later, the Oris brand made its ownOris manufacture in dial production escapements. From 1949, all water-resistant wristwatches were marked with the special signet “Waterproof”, and water resistance became to be one of the Oris advantages.
