Mr. Jones Watches Unveils the Ricochet XL Amidst Pinball Arcade Memories

Established in 2007, Mr Jones Watches is a passionate team dedicated to crafting unconventional timepieces that tell compelling stories. From its workshop in London, the brand designs, prints, and assembles each watch, imbuing them with a distinctive narrative or conversation starter. Collaborating regularly with talented artists and illustrators, Mr Jones Watches continually pushes the boundaries of watch design, offering a diverse range of captivating timepieces. This year Mr. Jones Watches collaborates with the acclaimed American comics creator, Ryan Claytor for an all new release - Dubbed Ricochet XL.  Drawing inspiration from the captivating realm of pinball arcades, the watch features a unique jump hour mechanical movement that intricately displays time within the framework of a pinball machine, complete with three animated robots. Originally conceptualized by Claytor, Ricochet made its debut back in 2021 and swiftly became a fan favorite. The XL variant introduces a larger case size, accompanied by an enthusiastic fourth robot joining the fray in the quest for high scores. Discussing the genesis of his design, Ryan Claytor elucidated, "Pinball is a game of precise timing; a mere fraction of a second can make all the difference. Yet, in its more sublime moments, it can transcend time itself. Immersed in the rhythm of gameplay, one can find themselves momentarily detached from the constraints of time."  Each of the four robots adorning the watch is adorned with distinct metallic foils, ranging from yellow gold to palladium and rose gold. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, every Ricochet XL watch is meticulously printed, gilded, and assembled by the skilled artisans at Mr Jones Watches' workshop in London. Embracing the reality that many now rely on smartphones for timekeeping, Mr Jones Watches specializes in crafting playful and visually captivating timepieces, each offering a unique way to tell time. This watch has a jump hour movement, so you'll need to watch closely to see the hour change - blink and you'll miss it!  The Ricochet XL boasts a robust construction, featuring a sapphire glass face and a durable 316L stainless steel case, measuring 45mm. Secured with a 22mm silver stainless steel strap, it houses a TY2709 20 jewel automatic mechanical movement, ensuring precision and reliability.
