Mr Jones Watches Revives Two Retro-Inspired Cult Classics
For 2026, Mr Jones Watches has dipped into its extensive archive to revive two much-loved creations, each reimagined by the very people who bring the brand’s dials to life every day.
The new Printers Editions of Dawn West Dusk East and Analogon (above) are each limited to just 100 pieces. Rather than simply recreating the originals, Mr Jones Watches handed the designs to its in-house print technicians, Rocky and Tanith, giving them the freedom to reinterpret the watches using today’s printing techniques and their own creative vision.
Originally released in 2011, Dawn West Dusk East (below) was built around a single coloured aperture that slowly travelled around the dial. Tanith’s new interpretation transforms the concept by introducing a richly atmospheric landscape through which the aperture moves as the day unfolds. A refreshed colour palette is complemented by words including curiosity, healing and peace, arranged around the outer edge of the dial to encourage moments of reflection throughout the day.
Rocky, meanwhile, has revisited Analogon, first introduced in 2014. The playful design remains centred on its smiling robotic face, assembled from simple cogs and screws, but benefits from a fresh visual treatment. As before, the robot’s upper row of teeth displays the hours, while the lower jaw indicates the minutes, combining whimsical design with an unexpectedly intuitive way of telling the time.
“The Printers Editions are a really nice opportunity for the print techs to look back through the archive, pick a design and reimagine it with the new techniques we have today, with a lot of creative freedom.” Eleanor Rudd, Acting Head of Production, Mr Jones Watches
Since its launch in 2007, Mr Jones Watches has built an archive containing hundreds of artist-led designs that challenge conventional watchmaking. The annual Printers Editions celebrate that creative legacy, while giving members of the production team the opportunity to put their own stamp on some of the brand’s most distinctive watches.
