There are moments when time moves painfully slow. The traffic refuses to move. Your laptop decides today is the day to update itself. Five minutes stretches into what feels like forever. This watch perfectly captures the universal experience of impatience, with a pinch of humour. Designed by illustrator and printmaker Rocky Beeson, @%!? is inspired by the everyday frustrations we all know a little too well. Instead of traditional hands, the watch measures your day somewhere between slow as fuck and not so slow, a scale that feels surprisingly accurate, depending on your mood. Known for finding humour in life's minor frustrations, Rocky's work celebrates the universal annoyances that connect us all. As she puts it: "I see it, I hate it, I draw it." This watch is a natural extension of that philosophy, using the dial itself as a canvas for a joke we' re all in on. It's also a nod to some of the earliest Mr Jones Watches, where text took centre stage and telling the time became part of the artwork itself, filtered through Rocky's own practice and sense of humour. Because sometimes the most accurate way to measure time isn't in hours and minutes. It's in patience (or lack thereof). How to read the time: The hour hand is 'SLOW AS FUCK' The minute hand is 'NOT AS SLOW'. The second hand is the swirling line. Limited edition This watch is available exclusively from Mr Jones Watches in a limited edition of 300 pieces. When you purchase, you will be assigned an edition number and this will be printed on your watch case back.
