The owners decided to name it Oris, and within a few years of production, the company became a brand. It hired over 300 workers to handle the workload by 1911, and that was the first step towards more glorious achievements. With success, the company expanded accordingly, and the owners erected new homes and apartments for the staff, which showed their care towards workers, and everything was on track till 1934.
