Houseparty
It has sold out! Sign up to our waiting list here.
Celebrate the moment, with the limited edition Houseparty watch.
Designed for us by Artist and Illustrator Catarina Morais, it shows a vibrant crowd having fun and celebrating together.
The time is cleverly integrated within the house party scene:
- The hour is displayed in the mirrorball
- The central character points up to musical notes, and a pair of glasses which represent the minutes as follows:
We are proud to count Catarina amongst the small team here at Mr Jones Watches, where she works assembling watches.
She was also responsible for the beautiful murals that decorate our Neal Street store.
Catarina explains her inspiration:
"This concept of an illustrated house party originated during the pandemic - it came mainly from a place of longing, and from being isolated from human connection with many of those I care about.
I was just starting to develop a more personal and consistent artistic style, and the concept of connections and intertwining appealed to me deeply, heightened by the circumstances.
‘Houseparty’ captures a moment - it’s a relatable scene, that brings us all back to our own memories and experiences.
The musical notes fly from speaker to speaker as the hours sparkle in the reflections of the disco ball."
Limited edition
This watch is available exclusively from Mr Jones Watches in a numbered edition of 200 pieces, when you purchase, you will be assigned a number at random.
Purchases are strictly limited to one per person for this edition watch. We don think it fair people buy resell them at a higher price so please do or will be forced block your orders.
Mechanical movement
Houseparty is powered by a 20 jewel automatic mechanical movement. This means the motion of wearing your watch provides the power to wind it up and keep it running.
If you don’t wear your watch for a few days then the mechanism will run down and stop, but don’t worry - it’s simple to get it going again.
Just give the winding crown a few turns to start it running, set the hands to the correct time and put it on your wrist - it’ll build up power as you go about your day.
Catarina Morais (she/her) is a Portuguese Illustrator.
Before settling in the UK, Catarina started her artistic journey by studying at Escola Artística António Arroio, in Lisbon. There she studied Jewellery and Drawing, which allowed her to develop her interests in Design and Visual Communication.
Catarina is now based in South London, and graduated in Illustration from Camberwell College of Arts, UAL.
Her work mainly focuses on busy compositions of interacting characters. She has developed her style mainly through observing the busy lives of people in London and the connections of people around her.
She uses bold colours, curated into limited colour palettes, accentuating blocked shapes and simplified, funky proportions through her work.
