Schaefer and Companions, an emerging independent brand, has gained recognition for their Solune watch series highlighted by its artistic dial design. However, the intricate and angular case of this collection may not be the best fit for everyone’s tastes. Addressing this concern, the brand has recently launched the Octolune collection, offering a more relaxed and versatile design without sacrificing the brand’s creative flair.

Compared to the Solune collection, the Octolune’s streamlined 43mm wide 904L stainless steel case mixes both new and returning elements. While the primary 12-sided case remains, most aspects of this collection have taken on a drastically different aesthetic. The namesake octagonal bezel is a standout with its mix of polished and sunburst-brushed facades, aligning with popular sports watch designs. The lug design also sees a significant change, moving away from the angular design to a more complex and dazzling finish, creating a spectacular play of light.
