A design to encourage you to confront your hidden monsters. This new limited edition watch watch was designed for us by Chinese Artist Yico Liu: The character on the dial of the watch is surrounded by two monster hands, printed with semi-transparent ink. At different points in time, the monster’s hands cover the mouth, eyes or the ears of the character. The position of these two hands mark the hours and minutes as they move around the face. Yico explains her inspiration behind the design: “My design is about those feelings and thoughts that hold us back. I visualise these feelings as being like a monster who I can't see but who messes things up for us. Sometimes the monster covers our mouth or covers our eyes to stop us from seeing or expressing ourselves as we want to. The monster in my design is a bit ambiguous - some times it looks like it's cuddling or stroking the face while at others it's smothering or strangling it. Like maybe sometimes it’s nice to not see or not speak. The design fits into a larger body of work that I've made which explores the different monsters that people carry with them. The title of the watch refers to the idea that while we can try and outrun these monsters they are as tied to us as our shadows.” Each watch was printed and assembled one at a time, by hand; before being assembled in turn by our small and talented team in London. This watch is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, available exclusively from Mr Jones Watches. Purchases are strictly limited to one per person/address for this limited edition watch. We don’t think it’s fair for people to buy to resell them at a higher price, so please don’t do this or we will be forced to block your orders.
