Cazalea introduces his new Ochs und Junior Moon Phase, a vibrant acquisition that immediately sparked creative strap experimentation. His post delves into the unique appeal of Ochs und Junior's customizable aesthetic and how it integrates with a collector's personal style. This exploration highlights the brand's distinctive approach to watch design and personalization.

that is on my wrist, now that I have dropped out of the One-Wrist-One-Watch contest. I found it recently at my local watch emporium, and couldn't resist.

The choice of colors was eccentric, but also appealing. Not what I would have chosen from the almost unlimited palette at Ochs & Junior, but compelling anyway.

But I am thinking what other choices I might have for customization before even thinking about changing dial or hands (which unlike at other brands, they are happy to help with).

The first owner got a set of straps but only one came to me:

but my Settemania Junior provided another choice

So I started to mix and match the straps

A year or so ago a collection of canvas overshirts from a company called KAVU fell into my hands.

Purchased by a pal who owned a silk-screening and apparel business, he had more than 20 color variants in the same style and size (mine).

So if I carefully pick through the shirts - or even grab one at random - do they work with the watch?

It's not Silberstein-wacky, but funky in another way

I guess I have a black strap choice too, if I "borrow" the MIH strap

(Photoshop simulation)

I'm liking the color palette more and more, and I think I am appreciating the casual look of the watch with the shirts

What do you think?

Key Points from the Discussion

The Ochs und Junior Moon Phase is recognized for its versatility and colorful choices, with the green strap being a favorite for its broad compatibility with various wardrobes.
The watch's color combination is more interchangeable than initially perceived, leading to many compliments from non-watch enthusiasts.
Finding pre-owned Ochs und Junior pieces is noted as a rare occurrence, making Cazalea's acquisition particularly fortunate.
The watch's minimalist design enhances its playful and funky character, aligning with the innovative spirit of Oechslin's creations.
The possibility of further strap experiments, including a silicone diver strap and a potential orange leather strap, showcases the extensive customization options available for Ochs und Junior watches.

The watch(es) goes with everything; and the minimalism of it just adds to the playfulness-and funkiness. On top of that, it's an Oechslin which means it is an incredible watch. Happy for you.

You are lucky indeed - finding pre-loved Ochs & Junior pieces here is almost impossible. Like the playful side, the colour combination and your strap experiments Now wondering if more straps will join in your experiment...

Great watch--versatile and colorful choices too. I'm also a fan of Kavu and have one of those canvas shirts too. The green strap is my favorite you show, but that's just my bias--my MIH is wearing a green leather strap on my wrist right now and I find green to be every bit as versatile (given my usual wardrobe) as brown and black. Very cool watch! Daniel
