Mr Jones Watches believe that now everybody carries a mobile phone the watch has been liberated from it's purely functional role, so they've set out to make the humble wrist watch a bit more fun.
 
After releasing their first watches back in 2007, Mr Jones Watches founder Crispin Jones has been collaborating with artists, and even a comedian, to create design led, limited edition timepieces with a twist.

With prices ranging from £130 - £195 these unique watches are very reasonably priced, and from a distance they look like just a sleek watch, so are anything but novelty until you get up close and personal. They also all come in their very own presentation box. Here's a pick of some of our favourites...
