A person of two extremes!
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

Such a nice close up of the DB8: huge congrats again!
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!
Thanks Nico!
For under 300 euros, I see few better buys but then again, it was Black Friday!
I ordered it blindly from the internet
something I usually try avoid doing but Black Friday makes you do crazy things!
At under 300 euros, it was less risky
and if I did not like it, my son would have been the lucky beneficiary. Unfortunately for him, I love it!
Both are pieces of art, just very different ones. congrats!
Have never heard of Mr. Jones watches before, thanks for the introduction.
You are welcome!
Do take a look at their website. I have little doubt that you will find something that you like.
Pure nostalgia
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...
Thank you for the comments on both watches!
You should definitely get yourself a Mr Jones for yourself! as for the DB, I have no words either!
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.
Thank you very much for saying so!
I love them both to the extent where I am trying to cancel an order for an incoming watch!
