(PRESS RELEASE) Oris is introducing the Hölstein Edition 2022, a watch that revives an icon, the Full Steel.

Dear Friends,To mark our birthday on today, June 1st, Oris is introducing the Hölstein Edition 2022, a watch that revives an icon, the Full Steel. It captures the spirit of the 1990s, and features a groundbreaking mechanical movement

The watch celebrating our 118th birthday is inspired by the Full Steel Worldtimer, a stainless steel sports watch introduced in 1998 that picked up on an extraordinary movement Oris had debuted a year before.

Known as the Worldtimer, Oris Calibre 690 was a world’s first. Using plus and minus buttons on the case flanks, it could adjust the local time in one-hour jumps either forwards or backwards, with home time shown on a counter at 3 o’clock. Even more impressively, as the time moved past midnight in either direction, the date would change, too.

The Hölstein Edition 2022 is limited to 250 pieces and is a faithful revival of this Oris icon. It has a 36.5mm stainless steel case, a three-link stainless steel bracelet, and a blue dial with the famous red plus and minus symbols. And it’s powered by Oris Calibre 690.

The new Hölstein Edition 2022 is an e-commerce exclusive and retails for $4,300 USD and $5,400 CDN.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
