In 1965, Oris achieved a hard-won victory that changed the course of the watch industry: by overturning the restrictive Swiss Watch Statute. This legal triumph ended decades of state-mandated technical limitations, allowing Oris (and many other brands) to finally move beyond pin-lever movements and embrace modern mechanical innovation like the lever escapement. Join Zach Kazan (Editorial Director, Worn & Wound) and VJ Geronimo (CEO - The Americas, Oris) as they dive into this gripping story of defiance and independence. They’ll explore how this era of "mechanical freedom" birthed the original Oris Star in 1966 and celebrate its legacy with a look at the newly released Star Edition from Watches and Wonders.
