I have the Colour Venn, and I love it. It's easy to tell the time once you get used to it, and it's a watch that you want to take a moment to look at when you check the time. It's always a different layout and color combo.

I loved the Colour Venn but I wish it wasn't over $500. What a neat concept though. Eff it, I just bought it. $569.63 after taxes. Thank you Watchfinder & Co for the heads up. This is my first "Swiss movement" watch not including my System 51 that broke right after I bought it (super disappointing).

I have A Perfectly Useless Morning and I love it so much, it's a quiet, reflective, somehow homely watch. A fox lays sleepily curled up while a golden bird circles lazily above. The glint of silver birches and a crown of leaves complete the scene. The colours, light play, and depth are so alluring. What's more, it's incredibly easy to read too, the wingtip and leaf serving perfectly as minute and hour hands. One thing I would mention is that your macro shots make the printing edges look fuzzy in some places and I'd like to re-assure viewers that under my 10x loupe I don't see anything like the fuzzy edges shown in some of these shots. Maybe I just got lucky?!

I have a Mr. Jones' Nuage watch. For the price, it's quite good. The case design is quite underwhelming and the weight of the watch feels quite cheap, but the actual artistry on the dial and the gilding of the crystal is real cool. Hard to get that type of artisan style on a watch under $1000, let alone $400.

Hey Mr. Hands: You mentioned it briefly as the reminder of mortality, but "The Accurate" is the horological equivalent of a sharp swing of a Zen stick to the lower back. "Remember, you will die." Mr. Jones is clearly not just an artist, but a bodhissatva. And oh yeah, that colour Venn watch is brilliant.

Lol, “most have never worked on a watch before…” is a lot truer than we wanted. I got 4,and 2 had quality control issues. One I fixed with my watch tools, the other I took to my friendly neighborhood horologist who fixed it for free out of curiosity. I am supportive of upstarts but the casual attitude pf the workers seen on the site reflected on the products sent out. I was going to order a few as gifts but I didn’t want to burden my friends with unpleasant surprises.

My issue with Mr Jones is that their lower end models have cheap quartz movements with quality control issues. I just wish Mr Jones would more a little bit up market to pair their quality dials with high quality builds. At the moment they're (mostly) fashion watches with expertly executed dials.

I have the Ricochet by Mr. Jones (aka Pinball Robots). Here are some of my opinions about it, in no particular order: - The Sea-gull jump hour movement, while simple and probably a bit inexpensive, is fun and keeps good time. - The watch's spacing in the design of the viewing window and the numerals is so good that it's surprisingly - a little uncannily - legible. - I hadn't been sure if I would enjoy such a bright watch, but now that I have one, I'd say the color temperature and balance makes this a warm watch much more than a bright one. - It's cool that Mr. Jones offers a good variety of straps, too. I bought the Ricochet on the vegan leather (vinyl, I suppose) and that was good. - Mine had actually needed to go back to Mr. Jones for repair of some minor dial defects (during warranty period). The staff were friendly and helpful via email, and so It doesn't bother me that I had had to send the watch in. I would be happy to buy from Jones again in the future.
