Chatterbox new from Mr Jones Watches


 
Hello Angel News Luxury
Today we have releasing Chatterbox, a collaboration with the artist and illustrator Fernando Volken Togni. The design is a glimpse into Fernando's vivid, surreal imagination. In his own words it's, "an organised chaos of talkative creatures, natural forms and vibrant colours that combine to create an energetic, unique timepiece."
We produced Chatterbox in our London workshop in an edition of 100 pieces, with each watch numbered on the back of the case. The watch is available now from Mr Jones Watches priced £195 (approximately US$260 / Euro265)
Please get in touch if you'd like further information and additional images.

This watch is Dadaist in it’s juxtaposition of motifs, symbols and characters. It flouts conventional aesthetics to show you the time - one of the characters shows you the hour in his open mouth, while the minutes pass through a mysterious eye at the bottom of the dial.
This watch was produced in our London workshop. We printed all the components and assembled and regulated each watch by hand. It's probably the most technically challenging design we've ever worked on. The number of colours on the glass meant that we had to be vigilant throughout to make sure one misaligned print didn't wreck hours of work!

 
 

Fernando Volken Togni is half German and half Italian and was born in Roca Sales, a small town in the lush Taquari Valley in Southern Brazil. He graduated in Social Communication/Advertising and worked for several years as a graphic designer and art director in advertising agencies. Working with branding and packaging design, Fernando discovered his passion for geometrical shapes and started working as a professional illustrator.

At present he is based in London and works to create illustrations for books, magazines, advertising campaigns, products and spaces. His bubbly illustrations represent daily life with precise attention to details and bold use of colour.
