THE BEST OF ORIGINALITY AND DESIGN
The discovery and revival of ORATOR and thus the new success story of ORATOR began by Christian Schmitt and Hans Meeder in 2012. While visiting the famous Swiss watch exchange in La Chaux-de-Fonds, they found and purchased a copy of the ORATOR "Sportsman". With this watch, everything fit together: well thought-out design of a diver's watch, design language, quality and, last but not least, the perfect name ORATOR. The watch experts could not get this discovery out of their minds. There followed an intensive study of the history of ORATOR and the company SCHILD & CO. SA. The result is the revival of the ORATOR brand, which had long disappeared from the market.
