- The next volume in the successful Watch Book series by bestselling
author Gisbert L. Brunner - The first coffee table book dedicated to the
Swiss manufacturer Oris, makers of innovative mechanical watches for
close to 120 years - An amazing look behind the curtain at the Swiss
watch industry and its history, shaped by contrasts In this new volume
of the Watch Book series, successful author Gisbert L. Brunner focuses
on Swiss watch history and the watch industry, and in particular on the
house of Oris, because what could be a more fitting connection than that
of the leading expert when it comes to mechanical timepieces with the
watch manufactory that is one of the few to produce exclusively
mechanical watches. Founded in 1904, the company stands out in many ways
in the luxury world of horology, it is run independently and not by a
large corporation, it is valued as a down-to-earth brand and - in an
industry that is not necessarily known for this - it focuses on
sustainability, true to the motto: "Things have to make sense". Of
course, technology should not be missing from this volume; after all,
Oris has developed 280 different calibres in its company history and
manufactured them in its own factories. Companions have their say and
the best watch models of the company's almost 120-year history are
presented in this usual high-quality volume.
