MR. JONES - THE AVERAGE DAY
This watch eschews the conventional
division of a day into 24 hours, instead it divides into units of median
daily routine.
The dial shows a breakdown of what average people
do on an average day, so you’re able to see what you yourself
should - on average - be doing at any time.

The outer loop on the dial represents the AM and the
inner loop the PM.The watch comes in a MJW presentation box with a specially
commissioned artwork by artist Kate
Street. Inside the box you'll find the guarantee card - every watch
is guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase against any original
manufacturing defect.
Mr Jones Watches is the new cult
watch brand from London, we create watches that are both provocative and
seductive.
The watch today is a curious object - its functional aspect is largely
redundant due to the abundence of mobile phones and computers which
both keep impeccable time. This redundancy liberates the watch,
allowing it to become more playful and carry some alternative
functionality.
All the Mr Jones Watches are designed by Crispin Jones, they are genuine indie
products entirely conceived and executed following a singular vision.
To use a cinematic analogy: most watches may be thought of as Hollywood
blockbusters replete with happy ending and saccharine sentiment; Mr
Jones Watches in contrast are film noir - interested in the anti-hero
and the complicated pleasures of everyday life.
A statement from Crispin Jones about the design of the watches:
"Today everyone has a mobile phone to do the really functional
timekeeping, this means that the wristwatch is free to do something a
bit different. The watches I design reflect and comment on society,
both on the role that time plays in all our lives and also on the
social impact of technology. Of course because I would like people to
wear these watches, I also work very hard to make them beautiful
objects in their own right."

“The
watch today is a defunct tool - we all have a mobile phone to check the
time on, but the watch endures because it expresses something of our
personality. Whilst many watches are a symbol of material wealth, Mr Jones
Watches are concerned with ideas.”

About Mr Jones
Watches
Founded by London-based designer Crispin Jones in 2007,
Mr Jones Watches aims to create and produce watches that do more than just
tell the time. A masters Degree from the Royal College of Art combined
with a history designing for companies including Casio Research and
Phillips Design has influenced the way Crispin approached his designs.
Design
To achieve the intricate and playful designs
in the collection, Mr Jones Watches uses a series of rotating disks layed
on top of each other. The idea, usually used in the design of children’s
watches, allows for intricate illustrations and more experimental layouts;
whilst still showing the time.
