This watch was designed by Prof. Ludwig Oechslin. It is the result of innovative ideas that the watchmakers at the Lucerne watch shop Embassy Jewel AG have lovingly put into practice. The watches are designed strictly according to their function. For example, the dials themselves form an integral part of the movement construction. Due to this design philosophy and the high-precision manufacturing process involved, no further finishing, such as polishing the casing, is carried out.
Ochs und junior AG is a Swiss watch manufacturer based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, which is specialised on producing mechanical wristwatches. The company was founded in 2006 by Ludwig Oechslin, a universal scholar and master watchmaker and Kurt König, Managing Director of Embassy and Beat Weinmann.
