Mr Jones Watches has unveiled a whimsical new timepiece, Daydreamer, in collaboration with British Sri Lankan artist Murugiah. This limited-edition watch, launching on April 2nd, is a vibrant and imaginative creation, offering a unique take on timekeeping. The Daydreamer watch presents a candy-colored kaleidoscope design, featuring an ever-moving threaded mandala pattern alongside colorful clouds. At its center is Muru, a recurring character in Murugiah's work, who moves across the dial to indicate the passing minutes. The artist explains that the design represents the part of himself that daydreams his way through the investigation of his work, reflecting his signature use of bold color and intricate detail. Time is read via a red petal indicating the hour while Muru points to the minutes, continuing Mr Jones Watches' approach to playful and unconventional timekeeping. Housed in a 37mm stainless steel case with sapphire glass and powered by a single jewel quartz movement, the Daydreamer is priced at £225 and available exclusively through the brand. This collaboration showcases the fusion of art and horology, offering a unique and captivating timepiece for watch enthusiasts and art lovers alike. The Daydreamer is a testament to the potential of artistic expression in the world of timekeeping, inspiring a new generation of creative and innovative watch designs.
