An explosive limited edition watch

Designed for us by Adriana Dincu, Short Fuse is both disarming and provocative: a devil sits astride an open matchbox with a stick of dynamite in hand.

Two flaming matches circle the fuse on the dynamite, all the while threatening to ignite...

How to read the time

The two lit matches indicate the time:

  • The position of the larger flame shows you the hour.
  • The position of the smaller flame shows you the minute.

Adriana explains her inspiration

"I created a series of comics called 'Hysterical Bitches' seeking to explore female rage.

One of the first sequences I drew was a match being struck that I named 'Short Fuse'.

This comic was placed in the beginning to set the tone for the rest of the project: with the match struck, the anger was released and I was free to go crazy in my work.

I think the term 'Short Fuse' in and of itself has a time component: you hear short fuse, you can't help but think just how long until it explodes?

For me it also reflects on the practice of people counting to ten when they get angry in order to calm down.

I'd like to think that with this watch you would actually count up to a moment of crazy, cathartic anger, the kind that instantly makes you feel vindicated and weightless".

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/address for this limited edition watch.

We don’t think it’s fair for people to buy to resell them at a higher price, so please don’t do this or we will be forced to block your orders.

We aim to dispatch all orders within 2-3 working days.

If you have opted for a custom engraving please allow an additional 1-2 working days.

If you are purchasing during a sale or a limited edition release - you can expect an email update with an estimated dispatch date if there any changes to the timeframe.

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.
