Mr. Jones Face TimersArtist Limited Editions - Only Twenty Watches Made!
We're very excited to reveal a new project from Mr. Jones Watches: 'Face Timers' a collection of five watches, each designed by a different artist and produced in an edition of just 20 pieces.
The
watches were all hand-made in their London workshop. The artists were
given the brief of designing a watch based on the enormously popular The Last Laugh, although with complete freedom to interpret this in whatever way they wanted to.
Mr
Jones Watches is the cult watch brand from London. They (and we)
believe that a watch should do more than just tell the time: it should
make you think, start a conversation or simply make you smile.
Get one before they're gone (and they will be sold out quickly!)

British
Tattoo artist Adrian Willard created this sister design to The Last
Laugh Tattoo Edition. The time is displayed on the skull’s teeth - the
upper jaw shows the hours and the lower jaw the minutes
The
time on this watch is displayed on the skull's teeth - the upper jaw
showing the hour and the lower jaw the minute. The skull is based on the
sugar skulls that are given as gifts to the living and the dead during
the Mexican Day of the Dead Festival.

Moonhead
shows an Apollo Orbiter and astronaut in passage around Moonhead. The
astronaut's position marks the minutes and the orbiter indicates hours.
The moon is ever watchful, his eyes swivel to follow the orbit of the
man and the spaceship.
The
watch is based on Joey Moonhead, the central character from Andrew
Rae’s debut graphic novel “Moonhead and the Music Machine”.

New
York artist and illustrator Kirsten Ulve has produced this unique take
on the kitsch Jesus-watch genre: The time is read on Jesus’ teeth - the
upper jaw indicates the hours and the lower jaw the minutes.
She took on the challenge of working with the most recognized face on earth, a face which is both inspiration and expletive. The watch anticipates the cry of all those running late, "Jesus have you seen the time!"
Jesus
has the most recognizable face on earth, so I thought he'd make a great
design challenge. How often do you look at your watch? Here's a handy
devotional image for the modern multi-tasker with no time for church.
Both inspiration and expletive, his face also begs the question "When
Would Jesus Do It?"

In
this age of the smart-watch and digital everything, Analogon provides
an antidote. Lucy Vigrass who created this genial time-piece explains,
“I wanted to create a more friendly, analogue companion to carry with
you, my imagined vision of the future”. The robot's upper row of teeth
show the hours and the lower jaw shows the minutes.
This
watch is a more companionable vision for the future: a friendly robot
who shows you the time. The name of the watch derives from the Greek
word for proportionate, a suggestion, perhaps for how we should manage
the technology in our lives.

Psychedelic
Sunsets springs from the imagination of Edward Carvalho-Monaghan the
face of this watch shows a surreal, multi-colored landscape with the
time contained in a mini-vortex beneath the setting sun.
The
watch represents, “a surreal combination of clouds as landscapes and
mystical doors drifting together in a multitude of contrasting time
sequences. Each Sun sets from a different dimension and plane, though
the images combine together to open another vortex for a more
recognizable Earthly time reading.”
