Dear All: I have been (almost) silent about Ludwig Oechslin's brainchild Ochs und Junior since quite some time since I last reported three months ago ( click here ). Well, much has happened. While the Settimana Junior is already on the market, the Anno 50...  

Congratulations! I find the movement interesting..

but the minimalism in the dial just does appeal to me.

congrats, Magnus!

I just received my Caliber 33 with the spherical moon plus a large seconds hand - and find myself wanting this! Now that's what I call a dial face - with no writing, no numerals, and a complete abstract calendar - and it looks SO good on your wrist. If I ... 

Ah, Magnus, I am Envious

And impatient. Your report and my search for an "intellectual" and anti-marketing piece drew me to this watch. The idea to personalize time and have the wearer involved fascinates me. Thank you and best, Doulgas

Congratulations !!

Congratulations again, Magnus. I feel a strong attraction to this watch, and the brand that's being created around it. Ochs und Junior has taken a novel, honest approach to delivering a truly fresh product. The Anno 50 represents great thinking and great ... 

Magnus, this is great!

I specially love watches with a story behind, and obviously this one belongs to this category. Therefore it is beautiful, and this is another Oeschlin brilliant creation! More pics please, and HUGE congrats for this terrific catch. Best, Nicolas

What a fantastic surprise it must of been...............

To be apart of the venture is imo a great honour and privilege. I shall look forward to reading all about your ups & downs. Can somebody please explain to me - as I have no experience on this particular watch, how the calendar works? Thank you.

Calendar works like this, I think!

Clockwise indicator of the day of the month around the perimeter; counter-clockwise indicator of the month in "sub-dial" at 12:00; counter-clockwise indicator of day of the week (and day/night) in "sub-dial" at 6:00 (you decide where it starts and ends).

Yes, that is correct. I will soon post more here on the calender...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : June 30th, 2009-23:29
and how it works. Getting used to the mix of counter-clockwise and clockwise indications is a small challenges when you are new with the watch, though. But I enjoy the process of getting to terms with this piece! Paul Gerber showed me the 'naked' calender... 

Put it through it's paces Magnus...

After looking at the photo of the dial a couple of times, I could see what you mean
