This watch has a nice story. It’s my Ochs und Junior Day Night. They are custom made to one’s specifications. The lovely part is that it was made by
Kevin Hoffmann; the son of Patrik Hoffman. You may recall that Patrik was CEO of Ulysse Nardin for many years. I have been friends with him also for many years; both he and Rolf Schnyder. I used to stay at Patrik’s home when his 3 boys were very little. They are all grown up now and the oldest, Kevin, studied and became a watchmaker. He worked at Ochs und Junior and asked if he could make a watch for me. How could I refuse? So there is a real lovely connection to this watch knowing that a once small boy I knew grew up into this handsome young man, the son of a dear friend, and hand built this timepiece for me.

Ed, you have many special watches but this one may exceed them all.
The backstory is great. Very special.
Wonderful story.
I have long been fascinated by the day/night -- truly an amazing piece.
Lovely story, Ed
And a very cool watch. I find their philosophy very sympathetic ,Ochs make a wonderful product. I do regret the departure of Beat, who I had the pleasure of meeting a few times.
