This Custom Perpetual Calendar is Proof of Ochs und Junior's Watchmaking Prowess

Customized products made to a client's exact specifications are few and far between in the watchmaking world - generally, they are the province of either a large Swiss firm making small batches of watches with custom dials for large companies, or for ultra-high-net-worth individuals or celebrities If you're a regular GP reader, chances are you're familiar with Ochs und Junior, the Swiss watchmaking company that distills dazzlingly complex mechanical mechanisms to just a few parts, and then completely redefines the system by which they are read and understood on a watch dial Established in 2006, Ochs und Junior, under the direction of master watchmaker Dr.

Ludwig Oeschlin and cofounder Beat Weinmann, has made some of the most remarkable watches of the 21st century In July 2017 a customer reached out to Ochs und Junior from California - he admired the company's watches and design and wanted to inquire about a bespoke watch, but he had a unique story: the client worked in the health industry and had just undergone a bone marrow transplant to save his life He wished to somehow incorporate the story of the bone marrow transplant into the watch and wanted to know what sort of possibilities there were beyond the Customizer available on the Ochs und Junior website.

"We knew that we had to use the possibilities offered by Ludwig Oeschlin's concept to their fullest in order to succeed in creating a watch with a perfect balance between elegance and symbolism." -Beat Weinmann, Ochs und Junior Cofounder" Needless to say, he was thrilled, and owns what is, to date, the most elaborate Ochs und Junior ever constructed, a watch that took an entire team of people almost a year to realize. .
