I followed Andre Torrez’s link to a neat image to a very nice blog called Monoscope (that I’ve since added to my RSS reader) and from there found what is perhaps the most perfect watchmaker (which I didn’t even know was a category one could belong to).

And by most perfect I mostly mean perfect for me.  LOOK AT THESE WATCHES!

My favorite, The Cyclops, has a color for every hour. I like the colors and I like how the little black circle moves around from hour to hour. Beautiful.

The New Decider is like a constantly flipping coin. Every second, either YES or NO will appear next to the time, and it’ll help you decide on very important matters.

The New Decider may not always be right, but as Tony Soprano observes,“a wrong decision is better than indecision.”

The Average Day lets you travel along your average activity rather than worry about hours.

The Accurate is a bit morbid in an awesome way. The hour hand says “REMEMBER” and the minute hand says “YOU WILL DIE” and the rim of the watch is a mirror. A bit of a momento mori for modern times.

My second favorite is this one, The Mantra, which has a positive and negative mantra for each hour, designed to make the cocky man more humble and the insecure man more confident.

To see all of Mr. Jones’s Watches without the broken frames (since that was the only way to direct link to particular watches), check it out here.
