I have the Colour Venn, and I love it. It's easy to tell the time once you get used to it, and it's a watch that you want to take a moment to look at when you check the time. It's always a different layout and color combo.

So pleased you love it :)

i'm glad you put the spotlight on the artists first because these watches are first exactly that: art. the watches are just the medium the artists put themselves into. they aren't the best of watches but they are special.

I loved the Colour Venn but I wish it wasn't over $500. What a neat concept though. Eff it, I just bought it. $569.63 after taxes. Thank you Watchfinder & Co for the heads up. This is my first "Swiss movement" watch not including my System 51 that broke right after I bought it (super disappointing).

Loved this video, and loved learning about a cool brand like this. I hope to see more videos like this, really giving micro brands some well deserved attention

Happy to see Mr. Jones watches being mentioned in this channel! Well deserved!

This looks like a more mature version of Swatch. Swatch always talk about art on your wrist but tbh most look pretty boring. Mr Jones however does achieve what Swatch can't and create affordable art for your wrist

This is the kind of watch many of us were gifted as a child, but made into one for us as adults. I love that.

Mine just arrived and your description is accurate.

I have A Perfectly Useless Morning and I love it so much, it's a quiet, reflective, somehow homely watch. A fox lays sleepily curled up while a golden bird circles lazily above. The glint of silver birches and a crown of leaves complete the scene. The colours, light play, and depth are so alluring. What's more, it's incredibly easy to read too, the wingtip and leaf serving perfectly as minute and hour hands. One thing I would mention is that your macro shots make the printing edges look fuzzy in some places and I'd like to re-assure viewers that under my 10x loupe I don't see anything like the fuzzy edges shown in some of these shots. Maybe I just got lucky?!

an entire video dedicated to Mr Jones watches, what a way to end the week

Thank you for this video. Nice to see interesting affordable watxhes being reviewed by "high end" watch channels like yours.

Fantastic watch series. I have a suggestion for your website. A sub category for unique and strange watches. I have an absolute plethora of interesting watches on this channel over the many years and have, at times, found it difficult to find them on your website. Like I said though, just a suggestion.

I’m glad to see Mr. Jones here. I just recently acquired one of their watches (The Silent Thief) and I’m super happy with it.

I was thinking of a clock or watch idea using CMYK colored panels, similar to Felipe Pantone's kinetic sculptures, to tell time. I'm glad to see that watch already exists! I'm excited to hopefully own one 😁

I just ordered my Mr. Jones Watch thanks to their 25% off Black Friday deal. I went with the "A perfectly useless afternoon" with a turquoise rubber strap. Can't wait to wear it during pool season.

This video may have become part of my top 5 ever! Whimsical squared!

"ay you with the watch what time is it" Me with this watch " I have no idea"

i recently bought 'A Perfectly Useless Evening'...Love it...although the image on the dial is frustratingly misaligned at the 12 mark although I'm trying to convince myself that it adds to the charm

I have a Mr. Jones' Nuage watch. For the price, it's quite good. The case design is quite underwhelming and the weight of the watch feels quite cheap, but the actual artistry on the dial and the gilding of the crystal is real cool. Hard to get that type of artisan style on a watch under $1000, let alone $400.

Hey Mr. Hands: You mentioned it briefly as the reminder of mortality, but "The Accurate" is the horological equivalent of a sharp swing of a Zen stick to the lower back. "Remember, you will die." Mr. Jones is clearly not just an artist, but a bodhissatva. And oh yeah, that colour Venn watch is brilliant.

That Color Venn watch is incredible.

I have a Mr.Jones and I love it For under 300$, it's incredible quality, the materials feel premium, and the bands are great I want every design they put out, just can't afford sadly

just copped the perfectly useless afternoon, but ive been looking at getting one for years :)

My issue with Mr Jones is that their lower end models have cheap quartz movements with quality control issues. I just wish Mr Jones would more a little bit up market to pair their quality dials with high quality builds. At the moment they're (mostly) fashion watches with expertly executed dials.

Projects Watches also lets artists and designers create interesting, if less emotional, watches that sell from about $US 100. I keep telling myself I should buy the Till Watch but keep forgetting. This is a watch that tells the time in words using hands

“Art” dials and alternatives to traditional watch hands are nothing new. It’s a well trodden path and I just can’t raise any enthusiasm whatsoever for these pieces. That said, it’d be a dull world if we all liked the same thing.

I have the Ricochet by Mr. Jones (aka Pinball Robots). Here are some of my opinions about it, in no particular order: - The Sea-gull jump hour movement, while simple and probably a bit inexpensive, is fun and keeps good time. - The watch's spacing in the design of the viewing window and the numerals is so good that it's surprisingly - a little uncannily - legible. - I hadn't been sure if I would enjoy such a bright watch, but now that I have one, I'd say the color temperature and balance makes this a warm watch much more than a bright one. - It's cool that Mr. Jones offers a good variety of straps, too. I bought the Ricochet on the vegan leather (vinyl, I suppose) and that was good. - Mine had actually needed to go back to Mr. Jones for repair of some minor dial defects (during warranty period). The staff were friendly and helpful via email, and so It doesn't bother me that I had had to send the watch in. I would be happy to buy from Jones again in the future.
