Track the time like a tiger with this miniature jungle scene.

This unique watch encourages you to have fun with your time.

The playful tiger looks to the moon for the hour and you’ll find the minutes camouflaged within his stripes.

This intricate piece of wearable artwork was hand-painted for us by Fanny Shorter.

We then printed each colour of the design layer by layer, and assembled the watch in our London workshop.

The layered print on the watch, makes the time completely integrated within the jungle scene.

How to read the time

The moon in the night sky will show you the hour, the minutes pass through the tigers stripes.

The watch also has a jump hour feature, so the hour flips in the moon, exactly on the 59 > 00 minute shift, blink and you’ll miss it!

Watch movement

The Promise of Happiness 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.

Shipping guide for t-shirts

Our t-shirts are printed by us, made-to-order and shipped from our workshop in London. This means that occasionally, if your order includes a t-shirt there may be a 2-3 day delay in dispatch.

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, or you have the option to pay an additional fee for a courier service (Either DHL or UPS). 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

- $13 DHL Express, 1-3 working days

- $13 UPS, 1-3 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 DHL, UPS 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
