I love these factory tours, I'd love to see Grand Seiko's legendary places of their " inspiration".
Especially their hand painted dial section.
I am waiting for a GS watch that's inspired by the bird droppings stuck on the window of their factory.
OVER Rated brand
you mean you want Teddy to go hiking out bush and skiing in Japan? I think Adrian Barker is your man for the job.
He did a video about it
Probably one of thr best CEOs in the industry. His remark about how your watch should make you smile is genuinely so good
you must be kidding, did you hear him talk
@@keksbrot4995 I've come to realize that unless you're a conservative man, you will get endless praise on the internet for just existing and any attacks are shielded by glazers
I honestly think Oris are one of the most genuinely caring watch brands in the world. They actually care about their customers and take their time to write back when asking questions etc. Love them and i'm really proud of all of my Oris watches.
His gaze is so intense. Kudos to Teddy for not flinching 😂
😂
I don't think I can sleep tonight because I'm so scared. 😂
Looks like he's trying to read Teddy's mind, haha. Cool guy, though!
I was thinking the same hahaa
The CEO is such a humble, down to earth person. Yup, an Oris is definitely next on my list.
My first Oris arrived yesterday, today we are visiting the factory. How wonderful 👌😃
what a lovely fella this Oris man is - thank you
Oris is such a great brand. Still independent. Still innovating. Has their own "classics" like the pointer date, diver 65, and Aquis. Great entry level luxury around the 1-2k price point. I have a 39mm Aquis with the sellita and green dial and it has been an excellent watch for the last 3 years. BTW Teddy is getting close to one million subscribers. Content like this is what will earn more.
Amen!
Have the Aquis 400 second edition Shrek 43.5 mm, my first “real”watch and it is truly awesome
@@aaasports9898 you got an absolute banger there.
Gotta love Oris. I didn’t know that 403 was so good looking.
@@andhenny Oris is a bottom of the barrel brand, stop being a child
Oris is such a beloved brand. Still independent, still great. You can feel their passion. Really a serious watchmaker.
Several years ago, I was enamored by the Big Crown Pointer Date lineup when I first discovered it. I've been waiting to purchase one and did so just this last week (stainless steel with a blue dial). It brings me an extra bit of joy waiting for my watch to arrive in the mail after having watched this. Seeing that Oris is an unpretentious company with an ethos centered around joy and connecting with people is hear warming. Nice job.
Does anyone else think the CEO had an incredibly calming, yet intimate demeanor? At some points in the video it looked like he was less than a foot away, whispering the historic lore of Oris to Teddy, all while staring directly into his soul. My ADHD could never maintain that close of eye contact lol
No, that was the furthest thing from my mind
Teddy - you know I drool over these - production, editing, audio work, this has to go in my vault of RUclips - absolute gold Teddy and team!!! Thank you for putting in time and work - ALWAYS look forward to these no other watch channel takes deep dives like this and I will forever salute you for it my friend - thank you!!! Respect to everyone involved!!!
I have been very high on Oris for a while. To me they are one of the most underrated Swiss watch manufacturer. You can tell they take themselves serious and pride themselves on catering to the masses but also treasure every customer and collector they have. Great stuff as always Teddy
oris is easily one of the best watch brands when it comes to value for money. They produce such iconic pieces with rich history, and Oris isn’t afraid to try something new or innovate their watches. This makes them one of my favorite watch brands in the industry.
This interview has really pushed me to finally take the leap into the brand. Cant wait to be a part of the family :)
It's a really low end brand, kid - grow up
Its a luxury watch brand regardless of your perception. Did Oris hurt you or something lil bro? 😂
@@anonanon8794 No, little incel just giving you a reality check about your little Oris
@@stanwilson7040bro are you really replying to everyone’s comments like this? Get over yourself kid.
@@Kip78956 Just calling out the incels thinking they've made it by owning a subpar Oris watch just because the nerd in the video went to visit their factory
Rolf seems a really nice guy and his passion for watches comes across in the video. It’s not just about buying a watch, it’s about supporting the people behind the brand too. A win for Oris!!!
I always appreciate the amount of research you do before visiting the factory. It is clear you have an understanding of the brand's ethos and history and can articulate how it is reflected in their current models' designs. Well done!
As an owner of multiple Oris watches this comment section makes me very happy! I really love the brand not only for their sympathetic image and independence but also for the awesome value for money and unique designs. Their watches are not a knock off of any other famous models. For me the quality and finishing is on a level comparable to many Omega's but for way less. Especially as Omega is really going up with the prices nowadays. And yes, I own multiple watches of both brands so I can really compare.
Thanks so much for the great journey to Hölstein, Teddy!
Best regards from Germany
WOW what an insight to a company, you can see how passionate Rolf is and the belief in what they are doing, I was looking at Omega, now I will be investigating Oris as you say, great video Teddy
I've even more appreciate and respect to my Oris after seeing all this production process in a very precise and absolute amazing product philosophy. thanks for sharing
This makes me want an Oris. I love what Rolf said about not wanting their watches to create a feeling of envy in people, but joy, smiles, etc. Beautiful. Also, their watches are some of the best looking, IMHO.
The factory visit uploads are my favourite uploads. Great job, Teddy!
Oris are such a great brand. I feel they're the kind of brand that if you see someone wearing one there's a high chance that persons a watch enthusiast. And my calibre 400 Aquis is a fantastic watch, keeps my Omega Planet Ocean humble, a watch over twice its price.
I got me my Oris Aquis Upcycle after watching this video. Amazing brand , amazing watch. I love it more than my Omega Seamaster Aquaterra and others that I have. For me , one of the best brands for the money.
Hello, I used to live in Holstein and seeing the clips around the place brings back plenty of nostalgia for me. I used to walk my dog by the Oris factory 😌 Although, video was uploaded in November it certainly doesn't look like November weather :) Looks like a glorious summer day. Thank you for unintended trip down memory lane, much appreciated.
I love these videos for the recurrent theme of Teddy patiently letting a world class executive explain something, and then goes on to explain it more concisely, precisely and understandabley again himself.
I love Oris. Thank you so much for covering the brand. ❤
What a great story about Dr. Portmann, and kudos to Oris for recognizing and retaining great people. Organizations are only as good as their people.
This is an impressive video. The independence and innovation is one reason why I bought a Propilot X while in Lucerne in June. After three months, the watch stopped working. I went to a local AD and it was sent for repair at the authorized repair center in the USA, The Watchmaker in Stoneham MA. After receiving an initial email saying the watch was received and approved for warranty, nothing has been updated on the repair. It has been almost 3 months. With the cost of this watch, this is unacceptable.
Alongside Nomos Oris is my favourite brand, all that color, all that playing with shapes and a rich history! PLEASE Teddy we need a Hands on Nomos video!!
I have overlooked Oris for too long. My wife has an Aquis Diamond and it is beautiful. Those new pastel watches in Stainless could be a fun addition to the family. I also really liked the up-cycled fishing net dial. Great video.
The very first Oris I bought was the BC3 for my son's graduation. Its been ticking away for 22 year (unserviced). I have 3 Oris watches, all equally brilliant and reliable and accurate. Love the brand.
These videos are a favorite for sure. Been following you for so many years and great to see that your videos have only gotten better with time!
Love what oris are doing with the aquis, between the NY harbour, the fishnet dial and a few of the other editions they’re showing quite the extraordinary diver watch collection
What Oris does is amazing! We need more of that in the watch industry. Nice video Teddy🙏
it's so nice to see someone that truly loves what they do
Oris has made some really amazing and well-designed watches over the past few years. Glad that we got this video! Thanks Teddy!
We Love Oris and what a humble brand
I love Oris so much, I love everything they stand for and how they go about things. I wish I could support them more and buy more watches 😂
Thank you for showcasing Oris. Love them!
I just bought my first Oris. Aquis date in Cherry Red. I was immediately drawn to the color, lines and quality. I love it as do others. Thanks for this video. It is great to learn their story.
Man that was so nice! I always knew that Oris was one of the best value for money watches, but after seeing this it shows this “little” brand compared to the larger big Swiss names has a soul! makes me think I should get something from them now! Well done Teddy 👏🏻
What a great video! I love seeing behind the scenes of these brand. The history, the philosophy, the manufacturing and the passion for watchmaking. I love Oris watches. I hope to own one someday soon.
What a beautiful, friendly and informative tour! Oris definitely doesn't have to hide from other brands! I've been keen on the Diver Sixty-Five for a long time. In my opinion one of the most beautiful diving watches ever. In general, Oris doesn't actually offer an ugly watch. According to several people close to me, the quality is outstanding for these prices.
It was so great to see these guys at Windup Watch Fair in NYC this year, and they brought/setup such a large display and offering of their products. Nice receptive people at their booth as well.
Many thanks Teddy and Rolf for the video. I would not say that I am a fan of any particular brand but I do have a few Oris models in my collection. I have the cal 403 pointer date and it's a modern watch in a case that can be worn by almost anyone. I also have the older pointer date with the coin edge bezel ox blood dial. On paper these may look similar but on the wrist they are very different and have very different personalities. I also like the Aquis range a lot and in my experience these are the most comfortable integrated watches for me either on the bracelet or the rubber strap in the case of the New York Harbor version. I look forward to future models.
Fantastic video Teddy, thank you for making the effort as always! Also, thank you Rolf for sharing your thoughts and some of the inner workings of Oris
Love Oris! My first big watch purchase was a Titanium Pro Diver Pointer Moon. It’s a beast of a piece. My beach vacation watch.
I bought my first fine watch in 2011, an Oris BC4 small seconds. Since then, I've added an Aquis (Clipperton), and a Big Crown ProPilot Big Day Date. I just love the brand. I think they give high quality at a fair price. There are so many others I would love to own, but I can't ever part with the ones I have! I think Rolf said it well...."we are serious about watchmaking, but we don't take ourselves too seriously". That pretty much says what the brand is all about.
Love these watchmaker tours! Would love to see you hang with some small makers that you respect.
Great video. Between my wife and I we have 3 Oris watches. In the somewhat reasonable level of Swiss watchmaking, Oris stands alone for value and innovation. I love seeing the passion and creativity that goes into their entire product line.
Great video. I’d love to see a similar one covering another great independent brand (with a name that just adds two letters), Fortis. It’s so nice to see these brands maintaining their independence as most of the others are being swallowed up.
ORIS is a remarkable brand.
Can’t say or write enough good things about ORIS.
My next watch purchase will be the black 38mn ARTELIER S
Me and close friend got a 7610 model in 2008.
We both feel proud as every time we meet we have same watch. Still working although it needs maintenance.
We trust oris
Great video. I really like your in-depth looks at these amazing brands, especially the smaller, more individualistic ones.
I'm happy to see Oris getting more and more recognition.
I own two, a TT1 Diver and a Williams F1. Bought both second hand but even at MSRP, their quality and finishing is comparable to pieces 2-3x more. Both the wave and carbon dials are such a treat to look at.
Their CEO comes off as passionate but also easy going.
Many thanks for this fantastic virtual walk through!
Just bought my 2nd Oris watch yesterday.
We have been like that in Yamaha (instruments) and Meiji factories in Japan.
It is so inspiring.
Wow. I'm so glad I watched this video. My favorite watch in my collection is the Cherry Red, but over the past couple of years I had started doubting if Oris was actually worth the money. Their non-regulated SW 200 movements, mineral crystal casebacks and lack of on-the-fly adjustability just isn't up to snuff with today's watch market. This video emphasizes the things Oris doesn't tell you. First, they're a small company. Second, they do lote of quality control despite being so small. And the amount of human involvement in every step of the process is very impressive. I expected something like Tudor's new factory where every step is fully automated. Oris has some improvements to make, but they're not as far behind as I thiught. Thanks Teddy for a great video!
Great timing! I just ordered my first Oris yesterday. Looking forward to receiving it.
Love Oris!
Have both the Aquis Lake Baikal and Big Crown ProPilor in Bronze in my collection.
Oris Big Crown from the early 2000's was my intro to wristwatch obsession. Love everything Oris does. Their straps are also held in high esteem.
This video along with the Longines have made me appreciate these brands way more than ever before
I really like these factory tours, amazing job Teddy as always by you and your team 👍
One beautiful tour again in a watch making brand that is very very nice with some of the most beautiful watch in Swiss brands affordable models (compare with some classic Swiss brands)very very accurate and models for different kind of enthusiasts out there…💪👏👍
Love that aquis! Teddy did it again with impressive tour and discussion on a specific brand.
Man, this guy is very passionate about their watches. Makes me want to buy an Oris right now.
This past Christmas I gifted myself a brand new Oris Big Pilot. I like the brand very much and have wanted to buy one for quite some time. I'm very happy with my purchase, and I really enjoy these factory tours to get a taste of the rich history that some of these brands have.
I am a huge Oris fan and am lucky enough to own 4 of their timepieces (with a 5th on the way….!) Their in-house movements have really taken them a step forward. Reliable, well made and well finished, from a company that makes quality mechanical watches for those of us in the real world👍 Great video Teddy…. Love these factory tours…. Keep up the great work!👏
Bought a vinttage 70's oris a while back, love it and it's small at 34mm, i'm guessing 1970's but love it to bits.
As much as I love my classic Speedmaster, I also love my Oris Big Pointer date. A great watch for the price and my second go-to watch.
Like Teddy said @25:54, the brand Oris has a soul. That's why I love them more than any other watch brand out there. And the Oris CEO Rolf Studer is such a great approachable guy who is so much involved with the brand from a good (not a overly commercial) perspective.
Love that brand, glad you made a video about them, and to hear their very nice philosophy, far from over-commercialized and over-polished brands!
Oris is my favourite Swiss Watch Brand.
Clean, bright design without overdoing it.
I’ve been resisting the urge of aquiring a Aquis… I wonder how long will I resist.
As always, incredible quality and inspiring video. Thanks Teddy and team to share this video. 😊
I just love your passion for watches Teddy! I’m a newbie on the watch world. I’m planning to score the Lake Baikal. All love from one of your faithful subscriber from the Philippines! Keep on doing you!
ORIS, my favourite brand!!! Excellent entry level luxury!
This is great. I have an old Oris that i really like. Another Swiss brand worth looking at is Titoni - like Oris, a long history and that bit different to the big players.
I love my Titan Diver Chronograph with Coke bezel! The other discontinued Oris I have always wanted, but never have been able to snag, is the Diver Worldtime on rubber strap.
I loved my limited edition Oris Aquis but sold it because too many others came to the market and I could not buy them all so I moved away from the brand to scale down my collection and restricted it to titanium watches, but Oris makes great watches, much underrated
I love Oris…my green 80th anniversary bronze pointer date is one of my favorite watches in my collection. That blue Caliber 403 is definitely on my buy list in the future too.
I love oris watches. I have 2 now. Both are amazing. My favorite is the big crown bronze big date. Wears well and looks great. Thanks for the video
I still had my 1999 Oris Artelier Worldtimer till this day. Awesome 36.5mm watch and still keep very good time eventhough never been service. Love the brand...has been with me for the past 24 years ago and counting.❤
One of your best! The Otis tour was stimulating and educational. Well done
Very informative, thank you Teddy as always for your brilliant work.
I agree with the comments. These reviews are very informative and get me thinking about my next watch. Thanks
What a great brand and company with passion! And history as well.
This makes me that much more happy that I decided to get an Oris as my first Swiss timepiece. 💯
I recently got the Aquis Date Relief with the red strap back in August. Never thought I’d own a watch with a red strap but it called to me. The red lollipop second hand made it that much more appealing for some reason.
The next two on the list are the Big Crown and the Diver 65.
This was awesome Teddy! Thank you! 🤙🏼
Mr. Baldassare, i enjoyed this tour, great video. Oris are great watches, i would personally love a 39mm big crown. I love the independent attitude, especially in the present environment. Thank you, keep up the service.
very cool concept. very much makes them more connected with their consumer base. Bought my dad an Oris last year and I think they are a cool brand.
I bougth Oris Aquis as my first premium watch (yes, it is in premium price range for me) in authorized dealer in the middle of September. I was happy owner of the watch for two weeks. There was an issue with the date indicator and date change, I wrote to Oris, they recommend sending it to authorized service. I did that and since that time it is already two times that I had to send it back as the issue still persist. Most probably, I will have to send it back one more time as the authorized service cant handle with the problem. Maybe they are "going their own way"? Still, if you ask me if I would buy it again? The answer is siple, yes, it's very, very beautiful watch :)
I have the BCPD shown off in this video. I really like it. It’s beautiful and feels really comfortable. It developed patina fairly quickly. I’ve noticed how it’s even starting to earn some green - which I actually like.
My absolute favourite Watch Brand... love them.
Don't own an Oris (one day...), never even seen one for myself, but the way Rolf talks about the Oris way speaks to my soul, and I guess that's why so many of their watches do as well
Seeing in the eyes of a person who loves what he does and the great company that is, you fall in love with Oris, a megabrand. Greetings.
Oris are one of the most honest down to earth manufacture's there is. They care about their customers and all their staff I have ever encountered have been great. Every Oris I have owned has kept amazing time usually around +2 or +3. No I do not work for Oris, just a big fan. I hope they follow the recent Diver's 75 with the original 65 line and cal 400's in them.
I have two Oris watches, a diver 65 with bronze basel and an Aquis green dial. I love them great watches for ‘affordable ‘ price.
What amazing content! Another strike more than well done!
I love this brand!!!
I always liked Oris and I love my Aquis but after seeing this Rolf character I'm completely sure I made the right choice.
I feel Oris has done a solid job and has earned a lot of respect because of their indipendence and choices they are making.
They never miss with their models, shapes, colors, style and also prices.
I will get for sure a unique one like pointer date, aquis of 65.
I could listen to this all day.
Before I even click I know this will be good. One of the best all-around companies in watches today
