In a post on his Instagram account, ochs und junior CEO Beat Weinmann announced his departure and that of four others from the brand he co-founded in 2006 with Kurt König and Ludwig Oechslin.

Known for its distinctive aesthetic as much as it is respected for its movement credentials and innovations, this is a small brand with an outsized reputation. With such significant departures, what happens next will be watched closely.

Marc Bernhardt will act as a consultant for ochs und junior until a successor for Weinmann is announced.
