The independent watchmaking duo formed by Richard and Maria Habring, working under the Habring² name, are close to our hearts for various reasons. First, as you’re probably well aware, because of our first-ever Montre de Souscription and the unique piece we auctioned for charity earlier in the year.

Known for its ingenious simplistic approach to watchmaking, the Swiss brand of Ochs und Junior does things a bit differently. Not bragging about how many parts they stuffed in a watch, but rather how few they put in. Take for instance this Ochs und Junior Ochs Line Moon Phase, or Selene, as the company also […]
