Orient Watch History

Orient Watch was formally established in July 13th, 1950 in Tokyo. However, the history of Orient Watch really dates back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida, the founder of Orient, opened a wholesale watch store in Ueno, Japan. Orient Watch has always focused on mechanical watches, primarily automatic watches with its own in-house automatic movements Orient was once part of the "Big Three" watch companies in Japan along with Citizen and Seiko. In the 70s, when mechanical watch companies faced hardship from the mass introduction of inexpensive quartz watches, Citizen and Seiko took the path of mass producing quartz watches, Orient stuck with what it did best, making mechanical watches.

Today, Seiko owns a controlling stake in Orient. Orient, however, continues to make its own mechanical movements. For its quartz models, it uses Seiko's quartz movements. What sets Orient apart from other watch companies is really the fact that Orient has always been focusing on making its mechanical movements better and more reliable. It is unusual today to find a watch company that makes its own movement selling watches at prices offered by Orient. Most of the watch companies that do make in-house movements are big name specialized watch companies such as Patek Philippe whose watches ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. To find a specialized watch company that uses in-house movements selling its watches at prices that are affordable to most people is truly refreshing.

Orient Watch is not a name that is known to many in the US besides avid watch enthusiasts because Orient doesn't really market its products in the US. As a matter of fact, it is often difficult to find Orient watches in the US. Most of the time, these watches are imported from elsewhere in the world. It took quite a bit of time and effort, but we were fortunate enough to be able to locate the official Orient distributor in the US. While there are a few other sources on the net where you can find limited selections of Orient watches, we strongly discourage people to buy from those sources because those companies are not authorized dealers. Their watches are often imported from another country and it would be difficult to verify the authenticity and quality of those timepieces not to mention the fact that if you should ever have problem with those watches, you had better be prepared to send them out of the country for warranty repair because the US service center would not honor warranty on those watches. Think about the headache and the expensive shipping charges, so save yourself the unnecessary aggravation and purchase your Orient watches from an authorized Orient watch dealer.
