Mr Jones Watches Sun And Moon Quartz Rarely Worn 2012 Limited Edition 77/100

  

The leaflet was signed by Crispin Jones himself at the point of sale. It is in used condition, please study the pictures as this informs better than words, but remains in beautiful condition with its original strap.

Comes complete with all it came with. This is a very rare watch being one of the first hundred made, a simply stunning watch. Will only post to UK addresses. A modern revival of a very old watch design. Forget what you already know about timekeeping, this watch is more interesting.

How to read the time. The crescent shape on the watch represents 12 hours, with the time running from left to right. To find the hour, you'll need to check the position of the sun or moon inside the crescent shape. At 6am the sun rises on the left.

It reaches the middle of the crescent at midday, then continues until it reaches the last marker on the right at 6pm. After 6pm the moon rises on the left while the sun sets. The position of the moon then marks the hours from 6pm until 6am. The minute hand is in the middle of the watch face, and this runs in a conventional way. Each marker represents five minutes.

A variety of animals populate the day and night sides of the watch, roughly mapped to the times of day when they would naturally appear. Strap: 18mm leather - black with ecru stitching. Mechanism: quartz - Ronda 515-24H. Height (from lug to lug): 46mm.

Case: 316L stainless steel - brushed silver.
