Junge & Co. are proud to introduce Ollech & Wajs

Junge & Co. are proud to introduce Ollech & Wajs

As an authorized dealer of watches from independent brands, Junge & Co. offers exclusive timepieces that represent individuality and uniqueness.

Both in their expression and availability, our watches are special and meant for people that are craving something else – something that is not for everyone. Ollech & Wajs fits our profile perfectly. Since 1956, O&W have been supplying watches for divers, pilots and the army. They produce only around 1000 pieces every year, and have a rich history providing great tool watches to those that need something robust and durable. It is also with great joy that we finally introduce proper tool watches to our clients. The one thing that was missing from our exceptional line up of indie-brands.

Founded in 1956, Ollech & Wajs Zurich started off as a watch retailer, before beginning to manufacture their own watches in 1957. In 1964, they broke ground (and water) by introducing the OW Caribbean 1000 Precision, the first watch that was 1000 meter water resistant,  700 meters more than Omega and Rolex at the time. Because of their technical supremacy, O&W became an unofficial supplier of timepieces to the Vietnam conflict, providing over 10.000 watches every year to US troops. The Navichron, launched in 1965, was one of the first chronographs with a 200M depth rating. Moving forward, Ollech & Wajs teamed up with explorers, divers and artists, creating a rich inheritance of ambassadors and great new models.

In 2017, Albert Wajs sold the company to Charles Le Menestrel, a long time O&W-collector, to keep the company going in the right direction while honoring their great legacy. Since then, they have focused on keeping all the relevant models alive, but also developing the watches further and staying relevant for the current market.

The Fusion of Sports and Style at Junge & Co.

Welcome to the Junge & Co. blog, where we bridge the worlds of sport and luxury timepieces with a touch of real talk. Today, we’re zeroing in on what makes our collection, particularly Bianchet watches, a hit with athletes and sports aficionados alike. And, we’re setting the record straight on how our worlds of tennis, padel, and horology collide in the most fascinating ways.

Bianchet Tennis Ambassadors

Let’s kick things off with Grigor Dimitrov. While he might not be splashed across every fashion magazine, Grigor’s choice in watches speaks volumes about his taste. Opting for the Bianchet Tourbillon B1.618 Openwork, he shows us that elegance and performance can go hand in hand. It’s not about the flash; it’s about substance, resilience, and precision—qualities that Grigor values both on and off the court. 

Then, there’s Alexander Bublik, fresh from his win at the Open Sud de France. Alexander’s not just playing tennis; he’s also showcasing the resilience of Bianchet’s timepieces, like the Flying Tourbillon Grande Date. His preference for Bianchet echoes a shared dedication to excellence and durability, proving that these watches can keep up with the rigorous demands of professional sports.

Junge & Co. and Acenta: A different kind of partnership

Now, let’s clear something up. Our excitement about the collaboration with Acenta Group isn’t about blending watch brands with padel directly. Instead, it’s about embracing a lifestyle where luxury and high-level sports meet. Padel, with its growing popularity and community spirit, parallels our approach at Junge & Co.: bringing together individuals who appreciate the finer things in life, be it a premium watch or a spirited game of padel.

Why this matters to you

You might be wondering, “What’s in it for me?” Here’s the thing: whether you’re a tennis buff, a padel enthusiast, or someone who appreciates the craftsmanship of a Swiss-made watch, there’s something special about wearing a timepiece that stands the test of time and activity. Bianchet’s dedication to creating durable, elegant watches resonates with anyone who values quality and performance in every aspect of their life.

Wrapping it up

At Junge & Co., we’re not just selling watches; we’re inviting you into a world where your passions for sport and style intersect seamlessly. With ambassadors like Grigor Dimitrov and Alexander Bublik, we celebrate the spirit of perseverance and excellence. And through our partnership with Acenta Group, we’re excited to explore new territories in sports and lifestyle, all while keeping time with the unmatched quality of Bianchet watches.

A Watch Enthusiast’s Unexpected Journey with Gorilla Espionage

A Watch Enthusiast's Unexpected Journey with Gorilla Espionage

At Junge & Co., we’ve had the pleasure of hosting many watch enthusiasts in our Fornebu Hovedgård showroom. However, every so often, a customer’s journey takes an unexpected turn, and that’s precisely the case with Erlend Osnes, a Norwegian comedian and watch aficionado.

Erlend begins his tale with a humorous twist, stating, “This was by no means my cup of tea, not even with milk and sugar. I don’t even drink tea. What do I need something that looks like a ‘mechanical pulse watch’ for?” It’s a delightful introduction to a story that eventually takes a turn towards a newfound appreciation.But then, as is often the case with us watch enthusiasts, curiosity gets the better of us. Erlend decided to put on the watch, and that’s when the transformation began. Suddenly, he found himself reveling in the comfort, stability, and quality that the watch offered. He couldn’t help but notice the sheer quality of the materials – ceramics and carbon – that made up this remarkable timepiece. The finishing details quickly signaled that this watch was in a league of its own. The open heart of the watch spoke volumes about the vision of a true watch nerd.

Erlend goes on to describe the watch’s dial with its softly glowing numerals and the mesmerizing mechanics on display. But what truly captured his attention was the name, “Gorilla.” It might seem unconventional for a Swiss-made timepiece, yet it held a certain allure. After all, what’s wrong with a gorilla? It embodies strength, elegance, toughness, and the calm demeanor of a gentle giant. A gorilla doesn’t explode or lose its cool without reason – qualities Erlend couldn’t help but admire.

And then there’s the model name, “ESPIONAGE.” For Erlend, this name harked back to his childhood dreams of becoming a secret agent. The allure of living out that fantasy was undeniable.

As he reflects on the practicality of the watch, Erlend sees it as the perfect companion for casual days in jeans and a hoodie, whether you’re soaking up the sun, swimming in the sea or pool, or even when you’re hitting the gym.

In the end, Erlend surprises himself by concluding that this watch does fill a gap in his collection, prompting him to bring it home to join the others. He humorously muses, “I’m not sure if it makes me more of a gorilla, but at least I have one. And that’s something.

“Erlend Osnes’ unexpected journey with the Gorilla Espionage watch serves as a reminder that sometimes the most remarkable discoveries happen when you step outside your comfort zone. It’s a testament to the world of watch enthusiasts and how a single timepiece can change your perspective.

We’re grateful to Erlend for sharing his experience and for choosing Junge & Co. as his destination for horological exploration. His journey is a testament to the allure and fascination of the world of watches.
