After 33 years at the helm, Mr Herzog has decided to concentrate on the role of Chairman of the Oris Group, focusing on strategic positioning and product development.

Subsequently, the Board has appointed Mr Rolf Studer, currently Oris Vice President, and Mrs Claudine Gertiser-Herzog, Member of the Oris Board, as Oris Joint Executive Officers. The new management structure is effective as of 1 January 2016.

Rolf Studer, who holds a masters degree in law, joined Oris nearly 10 years ago and has been instrumental in management of the Oris brand during that time. He has also successfully led a sales division, in which he was responsible for North American, European and Asian markets. In his new role, he will oversee global sales, international marketing and the product and supply chain division.

Claudine Gertiser-Herzog has built successfully her own international business in the last 20 years and has been a member of the Oris board since 2005. In her new role, Claudine will oversee group finance and accounting, human resources, administrative services and IT.

Ulrich W. Herzog said: ‘I can look back on very exciting, challenging and rewarding years dedicated to the development of Oris. In Rolf and Claudine, we’ve been able to appoint two passionate and driven leaders. With this rejuvenation of Oris’s management, I am convinced that we can accelerate towards the future even more effectively.’
