Marion Labbez
Marion explains her inspiration for The Ascendent watch:
"I designed this watch to be a hopeful visual invitation to look forward. Explore, discover, climb, travel: experience the world around you. Never look down, the only way is up and the journey is fulfilling."
This design completes a set of four watches which Marion has produced, each of which embody a different element. In this series, The Ascendent is the element of earth.

We aim to dispatch all watch orders within 2-3 working days, where this isn't possible, we will try to inform you via email.
When your order is dispatched your tracking details will be updated.
Please allow extra processing time for watches with a customised engraving or strap, during busy sales periods this can sometimes take an extra 5-10 working days.

Shipping guide for t-shirts:
Our t-shirts are printed by us and shipped from our workshop in London. This means if you place an order for both a watch and t-shirt(s), they will be shipped together via an express service. Delivery times for these can be found here.
If you order a t-shirt without a watch, it will be shipped via a Royal Mail tracked service which usually takes a little longer. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.
Shipping guide for bands (unless purchased with a watch):
- FREE Royal Mail tracked, 5-10 working days
During busy sale periods dispatch may take a little longer (this is quite rare). These delivery times are a guide based on the Fedex and Royal Mail terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch.
We are happy to exchange unworn watches.
Fastening the watch will cause damage to the leather. If this is the case, we charge for the watch strap (or we can put the worn strap on the exchanged watch for free).
Please email us directly if you think your watch is faulty: info@mrjoneswatches.com
Return for a refund
To return for a full refund, you have 30 days if purchased online. After this time we can offer an exchange if your watch hasn’t been worn.
If you purchased your watch in-store, we can offer an exchange or store credit only. This is because you’ve seen the watch in person and had the opportunity to try it on. Please let us know if you’re purchasing as a gift.
We do not cover shipping costs for unwanted items from outside the UK.

Made in London
The individual colours in the design were mixed and printed one by one.
The precious metal foils were applied by hand, cleaned and backed with a varnish for protection.
The gilding process makes each watch slightly different. This means that you’ll always get a completely unique, handmade watch.
Each watch was then hand assembled before going through our strict quality control process.
Powered by your movement
Automatic mechanical
This means your watch has no battery, instead it's powered by the movement of your wrist!
If you don’t wear your watch for a while, then the movement will run out of power and your watch will stop.
When this happens, you can manually wind it (turn the winding crown on the side of the watch clockwise 20-30 times) or just wear it to get it running again.
