Independents

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...  

Dear All: One word in advance. The watches depicted below are prototypes, however, they are very true to the final watches. Please remember that the watches shall not hide their production processes... The first watch to present is the Anno 50 , and annua...  

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... 

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... 

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 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... 

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...  

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... 

Nicolas and i have a similar opinion of Mr Oeschlin, in fact i think every Freak owner appreciates his mind set. with everything he's designed, studied and achieved in his fairly short life, Genius is the best way of describing him. i like them both, dont... 

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... 

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

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....  

Wonderful work as always, informative and well illustrated. I am looking forward to seeing one of these in the metal. - SJX
