Why it is interesting

Oechslin’s strength is a calendar whose complexity stays hidden behind a remarkably calm dial.

The model in detail

Ludwig Oechslin’s perpetual calendar works with nine additional and three modified components rather than a conventional array of numerous levers and springs. In the Holiday Edition 2026, dots and holes indicate the date, month and leap-year cycle. The automatic Ulysse Nardin UN-118 supplies a 60-hour power reserve, whose remaining level can also be read on the dial.

The anniversary version announced on October 16 combines a 42mm Grade 5 titanium case with anthracite surfaces and white-gold decorative details. The export price is CHF 15,000 before tax. Orders remain open through January 6, 2027. For a 50% deposit received by November 15 inclusive, the workshop promises delivery before December 24; later orders will ship in early 2027.
