Mr Jones In A Spin With Washing Machine Inspired Watch

Mr Jones Watches, has teamed up with London-based illustrator to launch limited edition watch which celebrates the magic in the mundane.

Sock and Roll, inspired by the humble washing machine, reimagines the wash cycle as a secret world where socks debate their chances of reunion and shirts swap stories in the spin.

This watch has been designed by illustrator Calesta Ng to remind its wearer that even the smallest moments in life are worth celebrating and treasuring.

For Calesta, every small detail in her work is rooted in memory. Whilst designing the watch, she was reminded of a time in childhood where she ‘hid’ a failed maths test behind the washing machine, hoping it would disappear.

“I wanted to capture something unique and something that connects with people in their everyday lives. The idea slipped to me in an unnoticeable, almost mindless moment when I was reluctantly loading my washing machine and watching the drum spinning round and round. That repetitive, almost hypnotic motion clicked me to capture that subtle, overlooked rhythm of clothes swirling, what are the clothes talking about inside the washing machine? Will my socks ever meet back as a pair in the washing machine?”
Calesta Ng, Illustrator

To read the time, the inner red sock shows the hour, while the outer red sock marks the minutes. They briefly meet as a pair every hour and high five each other as they pass.

Sock and Roll launches on Friday 4th April for 24 hours only (until 8am BST Saturday 5th April), exclusively from Mr Jones Watches website or its London store.
