The Netherlands…

The Villa Augustus in Dordrecht! Really, a magical place on this Earth. Lovingly restored and nestling in a vegetable garden, the hotel is the right kind of venue for the second ochs und junior Breakfast World Tour. That’s how we are with our watches…

Yesterday evening I had some of their totally wonderful cheesecake, even though I had eaten enough… But, as I say, it was so good… At 7.30 the next morning I started setting up our horizontal three-dimensional PowerPoint presentation.

It was around a year ago that we came up with the idea for an event in Lucerne. ochs und junior is a narrative that began around eight years ago with the concept for the MIH watch, and that Ludwig Oechslin and I have been working on continuously for the past three years. Sjoerd will carry on adding his drawings of our concepts and new products until the roll of paper is all used up.

Our Friends in Holland turned up at 10 and we tucked into the homemade bread,  sea buckthorn jam and cheesecake… :-)…

A year ago the tinta Idea was just a concept…

… And now we have four models to choose from: the selene, the due ore, the mese and… the anno tinta…

Right at the end of our paper time axis, we had an envelope, on which was written: “For your eyes only”.

It remained closed the entire morning, of course. And the cryptic drawing referring to a puzzle remained unanswered…. Stay tuned for more information…
