Sometimes you get a second chance! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one of my all-time favorite watches, the settimana junior from ochs und junior.

Now those of you somewhat new to ochs und junior are acquainted with the settimana. what you might not realize is that the settimana is the second iteration of the original settimana, which was a "children's watch" designed for his daughter Flori. It made telling the time and understanding the days of the week a much easier proposition owing to the big bright numbers and the moving dot that indicated the seven days of the week. It also came with a really groovy comic from Sjoerd van Rooijen.

Well, it's been a minute, but the joyful watch is back with a new name - the settimana junior.

And 15 years later? It's back!
