Oris Artelier Collection
Over the years, Oris has supported non-profit organisations that protect endangered species or conserve threatened habitats (see here Oris Clipperton and Oris Hammerhead). In 2018 Oris is deepening its commitment to protecting our environment with a series of sustainably sourced and produced leather straps. These straps will appear in the company’s classic collection of Artelier watches.
The Artelier collection celebrates the charm, craftsmanship and heritage of Swiss watchmaking with a series of elegantly designed watches that wear handsomely on the wrist. Oris has been making watches on the same site in the village of Hölstein since 1904 and has a rich watchmaking tradition. Artelier watches remember the vision of the company’s founders: to create beautifully crafted and authentic mechanical watches that make sense in the real world.
The founders also believed in making life and the world around us better – they built houses for their staff, ran bus services for those who lived in surrounding towns and cities, and broke down barriers with their progressive approach to employing women. They were ahead of their time in so many ways.
Today, Oris continues that legacy in its products, and in particular with the Artelier collection’s new line of sustainable straps, conceived to bring #ChangeForTheBetter.
The leather used in these new straps fulfils the demanding standards of the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) and is manufactured according to the stringent requirements and ecological standards of the International Association of Textiles (IVN). The colours used are non-allergic, heavy-metal free and have no artificial colour layers on the surface. Each strap is made of natural, unsealed leather, making them comfortable and breathable. They will also age naturally over time to give each strap a unique patina that tells the wearer’s story.
