We commissioned British-born, Swiss-based artist Charles Morgan to create a piece of kinetic art that celebrates our love of Swiss precision mechanics. That’s what we mean by the joy of mechanics.Įvery Oris watch is inspired by the simple joy of seeing and understanding how things work.Īs well as making watches, we love working with mechanically minded people. ![]() But the simple pleasure of owning one and seeing it work makes life that much more enjoyable. Because if there’s one thing our watches have to do, Whether we’re looking at a Ferris wheel with its open workings, or a mechanical watch movement through a case back, it warms us to see how things work. In our digital, connected, touch-sensitive world, the joy of mechanics has taken onnew meaning. The joy of mechanics rises to the surface in a smaller version of Oris’s versatile diver’s watch powered by the game-changing in-house automatic Calibre 400.
