Me want Junior, daddy. Please, please, pretty plese...

I like watches that are small by modern standards (I regularly wear 35-38mm watches) and I'd have no hesitation whatsoever buying the Junior for me.
Great design, magnificantly orange, name, address and phone on the back for when the Alzheimers gets worse (No, I'm not admiring my new watch, I'm trying to remember who I am).
Price...? Availability...?

After the picnic in Lucerne - 'Ochs und Junior' take shape!
By: Ornatus-Mundi : December 21st, 2008-05:42
Dear All: in my earlier posts I promised to show the pictures of the two prototypes. Now I am set to deliver. But first, I would like to reflect a bit more on the concept and reason behind Ochs und Junior and why it necessitated the establishment of a new...
Just to be argumentative...

I love the children's, but the Anno 50 seems to be closer to kinetic sculpture than a way of indicating the calendar. Assuming the dial remains as it is, without numbers, then we have the strange combination of a high-precision annual calendar mechanism c...
Nick, I can understand your reasoning...

and I personally will comment on this only after I had the chance to spend some more time uninterrupted with that watch! I just want to mention that I am still faster writing text messages on the cumbersome keypad of my old Nokia 6130i than may are with t...
Evaluating...

Hey Magnus, I'm willing to spend time with it as well, if they need someone to evaulate it or do beta testing! BTY, my bad manners - I didn't say thanks for the reports. nick PS I'm willing to bet that most of the children's watches end up on the wrists o...
perhaps Magnus could persuade them...

perhaps Magnus could persuade them to allow purists to evaluate and the biggest Oeschlin fans get to try them. criteria should be on owning his most important pieces, the Ludwig perpetual(not the later gmt +/-) being one of the most important, plus the Fr...
The Ochs und Junior watch No. 2: The Settimana Junior - Serious kid's stuff!
By: Ornatus-Mundi : December 21st, 2008-07:13
Dear All: Have you ever seen a serious watch for the youngsters? A watch which is not made in China? With traceable components, completely safe to use and representing no health hazard? A watch which would be a true companion for all your kid's adventures...
Magnus, thank you for your series of posts!

You sure did tease us but glad to see the cat is out of the bag. I really like the Settimana Junior watch because of the bright orange and it'll be useful to teach kids the days of the week. Wish the Anno 50 had a little more color to it. Thanks for shari...
Dear Graham
By: Ornatus-Mundi : December 21st, 2008-12:31
thanks a lot! Indeed, the limitation is the annual production capacity of Paul, who also has to accommodate the MIH watch and last but not least his own watches. The price of the Anno 50 is not set yet, but I can assure you that the Settimana will be cons...
Thanks Magnus !

I am still trying to get my head around these examples of complexity simplified with workshop industrial design and playful displays. The Ochs is amainsing! Just down that I wasn''t invited to the party too ! Don
Getting personal - presenting the people behind Ochs und Junior
By: Ornatus-Mundi : December 21st, 2008-12:06
Dear All: finally in my last post I would like to present to you the people who are behind the Ochs und Junior project. It is, as you might have expected, the project of a couple of friends. (i) Ludwig Oechslin: The arch-ox and mastermind behind all this....
