Mr Jones Watches occupies a unique and celebrated corner of the watchmaking world, renowned for their fearless creativity and commitment to turning the conventional concept of a timepiece into a canvas for art and storytelling. They consistently deliver watches that are anything but ordinary. In their latest collaboration, they’ve teamed up with the award-winning illustrator and pattern designer Jacqueline Colley to launch a limited edition watch that is nothing short of an interstellar journey for your wrist: the Mr Jones Continuum Watch. This is a piece that invites you to “Get lost in space (and time)” with its vibrant design, a pure explosion of colour and imagination rooted in retro-futurism and all things sci-fi.
Jacqueline Colley’s design for the Continuum is a love letter to that kitschy, vibrant side of space she grew up on, inspired by films like Mars Attacks! and The Fifth Element. It’s a bold, colourful space scene where, as she puts it, “in space, there’s no such thing as up or down,” and a “pop culture galaxy where anything goes.”
The design features layered detail, bold shapes, and a touch of delightful disorder, inviting wearers to take a closer look and discover new elements each time. A standout visual feature is the swirling, shifting vortex at the top of the dial, which creates a mini kaleidoscope of colour, beautifully reflecting how time itself is constant yet always in flux. The vibrant scene is brought to life using a combination of regular, metallic and iridescent inks, creating all the different colours and textures.
Telling time on the Mr Jones Continuum Watch is as imaginative as the design itself. It features a jump hour movement, a classic mechanism that adds a layer of mechanical interest. The hours are displayed numerically in the window of the rocket graphic, while the position of the colourful comet as it orbits the edge of the dial indicates the minutes. This neat integration of function into the art makes checking the time a moment of playful interaction with the design.
The watch itself is built for durability and comfortable wear. It features a medium / unisex size, with a 37mm case width (3 o’clock to 9 o’clock) and a 46.9mm lug-to-lug height. The case is crafted from robust 316L stainless steel, paired with an 18mm grey silicone strap for comfortable all-day wear. The dial is protected by hard-wearing sapphire glass, known for its scratch resistance.
With a 5ATM water resistance rating, it’s waterproof enough for splashes and everyday encounters with moisture. Powering the unique jump hour and minute display is a reliable TY2709 20 jewel automatic mechanical movement, offering a taste of traditional watchmaking. Each watch is meticulously made in London, with every colour mixed by hand before being airbrushed and printed layer by layer and assembled by their dedicated workshop team – a testament to local craftsmanship.
The Mr Jones Continuum Watch is released as a numbered limited edition, adding to its exclusivity and collectable appeal. Crucially, as of today, Friday, May 2nd, it is available for purchase, but only for a strictly limited 24-hour window ending at 8am BST on Saturday, May 3rd. This makes it a highly sought-after piece that demands prompt action for anyone hoping to secure one. When you purchase, a specific edition number will be assigned and engraved on your watch case back.
Priced at just £245, the Mr Jones Continuum Watch is a remarkable blend of artistic vision, unique functionality, and London-made craftsmanship. It’s a bold, colourful, and highly collectable piece for anyone who appreciates creativity in watchmaking and wants to wear a piece of wearable art on their wrist. Don’t miss your chance to grab this cosmic creation before the window closes.
