BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE OAK AND OSCAR JACKSON CHRONOGRAPH
From fratellowatches.com By Michael Stockton
At Fratello Watches, it could be said that we’ve viewed the inception and subsequent growth of the American micro brand, Oak and Oscar, from afar. However, that’s not exactly the case. Several of us are in touch with its founder, chief designer, and wearer of many other hats, Chase Fancher, on a relatively frequent basis. We chat via WhatsApp, always run into him at Baselworld and generally grab a beer during SalonQP. So, why haven’t we featured the brand on our site? The reasons are benign, but perhaps the main cause won’t sound so; Oak and Oscar is a victim of its own success. Translation: by the time prototype or test versions of the first two models (the Burnham and the Sandford) made their way over to Europe, they were already sold out and covered by our friends on the other side of the Atlantic. Today, though, we’ve decided to break tradition and cover Chase’s newest edition, the Oak and Oscar Jackson. No, we’re still not hands-on with the watch (this explains why we are using press shots), but you’ll hopefully come to see why we thought it’s worthwhile to discuss. Hint: there’s a chronograph afoot!
