A person of two extremes!
Dec 13, 2023,07:07 AM
Last week, I took delivery of my grail watch - the De Bethune DB8 monopusher chronograph, a watch I truly love. But in the same week, I also added another watch to my collection which is at the other end of the spectrum. Mr Jones Watches is a London based company that invites designers to creatively come up with their own designs. Mine is an automatic jump hour and jump minutes watch in 37mm (lug to lug 46mm) which makes it perfect for my wrist. I love the way the time is being shown and it is my first ever watch with no hands! Between the De Bethune and this watch, I have not worn any other watch for ten days now

Your Ricochet watch is playful and colorful: Ryan Claytor has done a good job designing these metallic robots playing pinball! And the fact that the hour is displayed on the scoreboard of the game is clever. But I have to be honest: the DB8 sings a differ...
Thank you for your reply!

Yes the DB8 if of course at a different level and so it should be all things considered. The Mr Jones is a fun watch and perhaps slightly unbecoming for its 60 year old wearer!
Oh, you are too kind!

I hope these two will remain in my small collection forever.
Thanks Nico!

For under 300 euros, I see few better buys but then again, it was Black Friday!

Do take a look at their website. I have little doubt that you will find something that you like.

My grandfather had a pinball machine in his house, which would provide endless hours of entertainment for us kids during family gatherings - this fun addition of yours hits right in my heart. Over to the DB, and I have no words, absolutely stunning. Congr...
Your words flatter me, thank you!

I try to keep as open a mind as possible when collecting watches even though the non existence of a Rolex or a single sports watch in my small collection (eight watches!) would dispute this fact.
Great pics

There is a watch for everyone there!
