anno cinquanta in red gold
A self-explanatory, wrist-borne time sculpture. Shorn of any alphanumeric characters or other markings, the ochs und junior anno cinquanta – intellectual brainchild of Ludwig Oechslin – has an annual calendar that features a system of orange dots.
His annual calendar uses just three components – the industry norm is around 40! His philosophy of elegant reductionism – and the clarity of this technical expression – stem from his many years of study and experimentation.
We refrain from polishing away the traces left on the case by the manufacturing process. The heat-treatment each white gold dial receives produces a one-off finish, and the ecologically tanned leather strap acquires its own patina over time. The ochs und junior anno cinquanta is a personal work of art that records the owner’s experiences as he goes through life.
