Brand heritage

Orient's roots go back to 1901, when Shogoro Yoshida opened the Yoshida Watch Shop in Ueno, Tokyo. The company began making cases in 1913 and wristwatches in 1934, and after the war it was re-founded as the Orient Watch Company in 1950 in Hino, Tokyo. Orient became known for in-house automatic movements at honest prices, and its bold 1970s designs are favourites with collectors.
