2023 Mr Jones 'A Perfectly Useless Afternoon' Mechanical 40mm

Here we have the fun and quirky 2023 Mr Jones 'A Perfectly Useless Afternoon' Mechanical designed by Kristof Devos to serve as a reminder to take a relaxed approach to time and to appreciate moments of leisure. The character lounging in the pool is intended to convey the importance of rest and the value of time spent in relaxation. Featuring a polished stainless steel case that comfortably sits on your wrist with fine, angled lugs. Its slim polished flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 49mm and a case thickness of 10.5mm. On the right side, a coin-edged crown. A polished, smooth, slender bezel holds a sapphire crystal above a funky pool-designed dial. An outer ring of tiles marks the hours surrounding a blue, wavy reflection of the pool bottom. The relaxing figure on the inflatable ring features an outstretched leg, which is the hour hand, and the small yellow rubber duck floats around the edge, indicating the minutes. On the reverse, a mineral crystal exhibition screw-down case back printed with 'A Perfectly Useless Afternoon' designed by Kristof Devos. Inside an automatic Sellita Cal. SW200, 26 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, this workhorse movement features hand-winding and hacking seconds for your convenience. It comes paired with its Mr Jones quick-release 18mm mesh-style stainless steel adjustable bracelet, secured by a gliding clasp. The watch comes with its Mr Jones Watch presentation box and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Mr Jones box and paperwork. It comes paired with its Mr Jones quick-release 18mm mesh-style stainless steel adjustable bracelet, secured by a folding clasp. The watch is from March 2023 and is sold in lightly worn condition, as you can see from the photos. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

The name of this watch is exactly what I am dreaming of having soon. This is Mr Jones 'A Perfectly Useless Afternoon' in 40mm with the most wonderful dial, with the character lounging in the pool, which is intended to convey the importance of rest and the value of time spent in relaxation. The character also doubles up as the hour hand, and the little ducky is the minutes, a super fun and interesting way to tell the time. This example is powered by an automatic Sellita movement, too. Add this to your collection today, and you are guaranteed to have a smile on your face when you look down at your wrist!
