Brand vibe
Ochs und Junior is a small independent maker built around Ludwig Oechslin's method of solving complications by removing parts rather than adding them... its annual calendar adds about six components to a stock ETA 2824-2. Watches are customised and assembled at a single atelier in La Chaux-de-Fonds and sold direct rather than through retailers, and the brand deliberately skips the Swiss Made label in favor of naming its actual suppliers

Sourcing & Build
InferredSourcing Notes: Ochs und Junior buys ETA, Sellita and Ulysse Nardin base calibres and modifies them in-house, adding complications with as few extra parts as possible - the annual calendar adds roughly six components to an ETA 2824-2. The brand declines the Swiss Made label, arguing that naming its actual partners matters more: cases and components come from suppliers near Lucerne and La Chaux-de-Fonds, dials are printed just across the German border, and straps and pouches are handmade by Sabina Braegger. Watches are assembled, customised and sold direct from the atelier at Rue Numa-Droz 143.

VAT included in Swiss prices. Export prices available excluding VAT.
Section 301 forced-labor tariff capped at 12.5% total including MFN duty (Trade Act of 1974, effective July 24, 2026). With the ~6% HTS base rate on mechanical watches, the incremental Section 301 duty is 6.5%. Replaces both the struck-down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs and the expired Section 122 surcharge.
Tariffs are assessed based on where the watch is assembled, not where individual components originate. A watch with a Japanese movement assembled in the US incurs no import duty.
