Introducing Printers Editions
At Mr Jones Watches, creativity doesn't stop at the design studio.
Every day, our print team carefully brings artists' ideas to life. They prepare artwork, perfect colour, fine-tune every detail and ensure each watch leaves our workshop exactly as it was intended.
But here's something you might not know.
Many of the people who make our watches are artists themselves.
Painters, illustrators, jewellery makers, they pursue all kinds of creative practices. Art isn't just part of their job… it's part of who they are.
So we asked ourselves: What would happen if we handed the archive over to the people who make our watches every day?
Enter: Printers Editions!
Rather than creating entirely new watches, we invited members of our print team to choose a design from the Mr Jones Watches archive and reinterpret it through their own creative lens.
These aren't collaborations with outside artists. They're conversations between the artists who created our watches and the makers who have spent years bringing those designs to life.
Analogon: Reimagined by Rocky Beeson
For the first Printers Edition, Senior Artworking Technician, Rocky Beeson returned to Analogon, Lucy Vigrass' geometric design from our ‘FaceTime Series’ in 2014.
Rather than changing its personality, Rocky distilled it. Simplifying shapes, refining the composition and introducing a bolder, more contemporary colour palette, she transformed the original into something cleaner, brighter and unmistakably her own.
The charm and playful spirit remains intact, but viewed through an entirely fresh perspective.
dawn west dusk east: Reimagined by Tanith Price
Print & Airbrushing Technician Tanith Price took a different approach.
Her interpretation of Brian Catling's dawn west dusk east is less about reinvention and more about homage.
Drawing on Brian's fascination with symbolism, transformation and language, Tanith reimagined the moon's journey with a new sequence of colours, while introducing a ring of words around the dial inspired by the recurring themes found throughout his work.
She also experimented with layered airbrushing techniques to create an atmospheric new dial finish, adding depth and texture while preserving the quiet, contemplative spirit of the original design.
The result is a respectful dialogue between two artists, connected by a shared love of imagination and storytelling.
You sold out dawn west dusk east prettyyy quickly… but we’re already working on other exciting editions!
More Than a Limited Edition
Printers Editions celebrate something we've always believed: that great watches are created by creative people.
From the artists whose ideas begin each project, to the printers whose skill and craftsmanship bring every dial to life.
Every watch that leaves our workshop is the product of many creative hands. With Printers Editions, those hands become the storytellers.
And we hope this is just the beginning…
