In the 1960s, Australian import duties on watches were high, lower on watch parts, this led to a number of companies bringing in cases and movements, assembling and rebranding them. Orven was one such company, based in Melbourne, they predominantly created dress watches for sale through independent jewellers. In much the same way that you can create a Kickstarter brand from a catalogue of parts today, the importers chose a standard range of watches to sell in their local market; in fact the internal pages in the catalogue pictured feature watches with blurred logos so that the same pages could be used by multiple resellers, only the cover pages are branded Orven. Anecdotally, many of Orven’s watches were put together by a newly arrived Rolex-trained technician and his family who spent their evenings assembling the watches from the imported parts.

Moet bij elkaar geraapt en open gedraaid. Daarna ook voorzichtig schoon gemaakt.
