Today, the Lucerne-based passionately puristic watch atelier ochs und junior presented their most radical watch yet: the ochs und junior perpetual calendar, setting a record of requiring only 9 additional (plus 3 modified) parts ! Functional. The sum of 4...  

My 60 year old eyes could actually read the displays! Thanks for the report. M4

Really gorgeous. I like the watch as I like the brand. Didn\'t like the puristic approach of the brand initially but now I am seriously thinking in purchasing one.

I must admit I'm in love with this brand. Really something else and stellar! Thanks for posting this news! S

And the video is quite convincing, I must say. Well done! Best, Nicolas

...I must say that the "new" watch case really looks great as it seems to have more "flesh" than the others?! Or is it just an optical Illusion??

I think I need to think about getting one....

I love it... not just for the orange bits... complicated simplicity! Look forward to seeing your hands on pics. Cheers Andrew

I can't wait for the Grand Comp with only 16 extra parts in 5 years! Seriously though, I'm glad they are seemingly doing so well and not deviating from what they do best... clean, thoughtful, bespoke watchmaking.

Had some special wishes.... So has taken its time.

Anxious to see your "special wishes." M4

Patina yes blue dial. Lots of platinum...

And the result is definitely impressive! I have deep respect for the thought that went into making it a relatively simple addition to the base movement - what ochs & junior does best

great to see this latest pieced rom the creative mind of Ludwig Oechslin and interesting to note the base UN Calibre given his history with that brand. Dave

"Ulysse Nardin became a strategic partner in the spring of 2012"... Maybe there's a chance of an ochs und junior "Freak" ;-) with no branding or other distractions... Very nice perpetual calendar... Sticking with my annual calendar though - I like having ... 

I love it--went through the whole website when the email came through. I'll admit, though, that I had a dream it wouldn't be priced quite so high (I assume the base caliber is a substantial part of that cost). As it stands now, I'll have to remain satisfi... 

Patina copper dials, gold leaf index and dots, yellow gold hands and the terrific new case design in sterling silver. Couldn't be happier with this superb piece. Beat is top notch! ...

The process is so interactive, transparent and fun. I have only purchased watches thru Beat and one other fine gentleman in the past 10 years. That relationship and authentic connection (along with amazing creations) are what brings me back.
