Auction History Result 5z214 ORIS 36x51 Swiss advertising poster 1965 Swiss luxury timepieces, art of watch on ribbon! Date Sold 4/26/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Swiss Advertising Poster (measures 35 1/2" x 50 1/2" [90 x 128 cm]) (Learn More) Oris is a manufacturer of Swiss luxury wristwatches founded by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian at Holstein, Switzerland in 1904. Its headquarters are in Holstein, and the company only produces mechanical watches today! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: The term Sachplakat, or Object Poster, was coined in Germany around 1905 to describe a new type of poster which featured a realistic depiction of the product and little else. The craze for this poster type continued in Switzerland, where the passion for precision in printing and drawing technique was unsurpassed. Shortly after, the iconic beauty of the everyday object became the mission of a group of artists in Basel, who made the Sachplakat the leading Swiss style in the '40s and early '50s. Often laced with humor and of stunning visual impact, these posters represent the last great period of the lithographic poster, which high cost and long production cycles was soon to eliminate. Please note that this is one of the first 226 items we are currently auctioning in this set of auctions are mostly non-movie posters (and most of them are from countries outside the U.S.). It occurred to us that it makes far more sense to auction these in our auction of "special posters" (which also includes lots of non-movie posters) than in our auctions of "oversized rolled" items that include many U.S. posters (like banners, 40x60s, etc). This item needs to be shipped in a tube over 30" (perhaps much longer). WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS POSTER CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE 773 SPECIAL POSTERS THAT FOLLOWS THE FIRST 226, THERE ARE ALSO MANY CASES WHERE IT CAN NOT BE COMBINED. The main reason for this would be if you buy many of the regular posters and a small number of the very oversized ones. If they were combined, the very oversized one would surely become damaged, so in that case, it would need to go in its own tube, and please bear this in mind before bidding on this very oversized poster. Condition: good to very good. There is a tear at lower right that has been repaired with tape from the back. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
