Intergalactic Wrist Watches

Ochs und Junior Created a Piece That Tracks Moon Phases

— July 8, 2013 — Unique
Ochs und Junior have designed a fine wristwatch that not only tells the time, but tracks moon phases. The watch is made from titanium and brass and has been carefully handcrafted to meet the highest standards of craftsmanship in the world of watch making. Although this is not the first watch that has made an attempt at tracking moon phases, it is the most effective. With its superior technology and clear contrasts, it is easy to see why this is the choice watch in its category.

The complexity of this watch is masked by its pure simplicity. The design is clean and engineered specifically to remain uncluttered. I imagine creating something so complex in such a simple way was not easy. The watch does not even feature a logo or brand name anywhere on the piece.
Trend Themes
1. Moon-tracking Timepieces - Opportunities for innovators to develop watches that track not just the time but also the position of astronomical objects for astronomy enthusiasts.
2. Simplicity in High-tech Watches - Dynamic opportunities exist for engineers to create high-tech watches using a minimalist design that provides more efficient functionality for everyday wear.
3. Luxury Watches for Adventurers - A shift towards creating watches that cater to the needs of adventurers and explorers, such as including practical features like altimeters and barometers for outdoor activities.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Watches - New opportunities for luxury watchmakers to create advanced and complex watches for high-end clientele who appreciate the intricate design and functions.
2. Astronomy - A unique avenue for astronomy enthusiasts to own a watch that can track not just the time of day, but also the positions of the sun, moon, and stars with pinpoint accuracy.
3. Outdoor and Adventure Gear - Scope for outdoor and adventure gear manufacturers to incorporate watch functionalities that cater to the needs of travelers and adventurers alike.
