Tissot, NORQAIN, NOMOS Glashütte and Oris: Four New Brands at HORANDO

Over the past few weeks, four brands have joined our range: Tissot, NORQAIN, NOMOS Glashütte and Oris – together almost 500 references that we did not offer before.

What the four have in common is that they offer mechanical watchmaking below the price levels HORANDO is otherwise known for. Anyone who has so far associated us mainly with Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega will find a different point of entry here.

The key points at a glance

• Four new brands, almost 500 references: Tissot with 145, NORQAIN with 121, NOMOS Glashütte with 120 and Oris with 100 models.

• Four very different signatures: a Swiss chronograph with an integrated steel bracelet, a Bauhaus icon from Glashütte, a dive watch based on a 1965 original and a skeletonised sports watch in titanium.

• Mechanical throughout: automatic and hand-wound movements with power reserves between 41 and 65 hours, all under sapphire crystal.

Tissot

Tissot was founded in 1853 in Le Locle, and the town still lends its name to an entire model line today. The brand is currently best known for the PRX – Tissot's reinterpretation of its 1978 integrated steel bracelet, with a slim tonneau case and a bracelet that flows seamlessly into the case.

The PRX Chronograph is the fully equipped version: 42 mm steel, white dial, date, exhibition caseback and a Swiss automatic movement with chronograph and 65 hours of power reserve, water-resistant to 100 metres. Alongside it are the PR516, which takes up the design of Tissot's 1960s sports watches with their perforated strap, the Seastar dive watches with rotating bezel and screw-down crown, and the Heritage models, faithful re-editions of historic Tissot watches.

NORQAIN

NORQAIN comes to us with 121 references and four clearly distinct families: Independence, Freedom, Adventure and Wild ONE.

The Independence is the house's classically proportioned sports watch: round case, sporty signature. The Independence Skeleton opens up the dial and reveals the mechanics. 42 mm titanium with DLC coating, screw-down crown, exhibition caseback, chronometer, calibre NB08S with 41 hours of power reserve, water-resistant to 100 metres. The Freedom, by contrast, takes up the design language of the sixties sports watch.

NOMOS Glashütte

NOMOS Glashütte develops its movements itself in Glashütte and works in the Bauhaus tradition in terms of design – reduced dials, clear typography, little decoration.

The Tangente 2Date is the house's best-known design: 37.5 mm steel, white dial, small seconds and date, powered by the in-house calibre DUW 4601, a hand-wound movement with 43 hours of power reserve.

Then there are the sportier families: the Club as the youngest and sportiest line, the Ahoi as the sports and water line, plus Ludwig, Orion, Metro and the square Tetra.

Oris

The Aquis is Oris' dive watch line, while the Big Crown goes back to a pilot's watch from 1938 – the large, fluted crown was made to be operated with gloves. The Artelier covers the classic, elegant side.

Technically interesting is Oris' own movement development: calibre 400 offers 120 hours of power reserve. The Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph, on the other hand, takes up an Oris dive watch from 1965: 40 mm steel, black dial, chronograph and small seconds, automatic calibre Oris 771 with 28,800 vibrations per hour and 48 hours of power reserve, water-resistant to 100 metres.
