Some see watches as symbols of a bygone era and that is just what Crispin Jones thought as he designed my new favorite watches.  The Accurate model two hands read” Remember, you will die” as it tells time, urging you to seize the day.  Another model alternates messages every half hour ranging from complimentary, “you are blessed” to derogatory, “nobody likes you”.  The third is dubbed the Decider which alternates “yes” and “no” around the edge allowing you to refer to it for split second decisions.  I am sure there is a disclaimer in the packaging.

A statement from Crispin Jones about the design of the watches: 

“Today everyone has a mobile phone to do the really functional timekeeping, this means that the wristwatch is free to do something a bit different. The watches I design reflect and comment on society, both on the role that time plays in all our lives and also on the social impact of technology.
