NEWS: ochs und junior present Ludwig Oechslin's new perpetual calendar - 9+3 parts only!
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...
Now that's a perpetual calendar that I could see myself wearing . . .
My 60 year old eyes could actually read the displays! Thanks for the report. M4
Now that is simply gorgeous....
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.
Really quite special, really elegant, classic yet cutting edge. Wonderful!
I must admit I'm in love with this brand. Really something else and stellar! Thanks for posting this news! S
That is a very interesting watch! I love what I see.
And the video is quite convincing, I must say. Well done! Best, Nicolas
Additionally...
...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 saw the release this morning but these pics are much better
I love it... not just for the orange bits... complicated simplicity! Look forward to seeing your hands on pics. Cheers Andrew
A fantastic new addition to the O&J lineup
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.
I disagree as it is the movement thstviscthe impressive part. Extra work...
To read day month and year.
The dial layout has to be exactly as it is, otherwise more parts would be needed...
to reorganise the indices, thus the whole point of the watch would be in vein. It comes, as all OuJ watches, with some time tax to get used to reading the indices, I admit. Magnus
Have been wondering how long it will take from their annual to a perpetual calendar :)
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
Fantastic piece...
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
Ulysses Nardin & ochs und junior...
"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 ...
Marvelous
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...
Proud papa!
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! ...

Thank you!
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.
