Mr Jones Night Howl Watch

A spine-chilling new addition has just crept into the permanent collection at Mr Jones Watches, and it’s just in time for Halloween. The Night Howl watch, designed by French author and illustrator Xavier Broche, is an eerie masterpiece that brings the mysteries of the forest right to your wrist. With a price tag of £225, this spooky yet charming timepiece embodies Mr Jones Watches’ passion for storytelling through watch design—and it might just be the perfect accessory for those who love a good thrill.

The Night Howl watch reveals a hauntingly captivating scene set deep in a dark, enigmatic forest. A lonesome woodland cottage and a curious figure exploring the forest at night set the stage, using the beam of a flashlight to uncover the secrets hidden among the trees. Within this beam of light, they find a fox and her cub, a watchful owl, and even—if they dare look long enough—a ghost. This creative design invites the wearer to imagine the mysteries of the night, much like the forest itself, where the line between reality and imagination often blurs.

To tell the time, the torch beam serves as the minutes hand, while the ghost reveals the hours. This playful and unconventional approach to timekeeping is emblematic of Mr Jones Watches’ design ethos—they don’t simply create timepieces, they craft works of art that tell stories and spark a sense of adventure. Designer Xavier Broche shared his inspiration behind the design: “Forests are full of mysteries. In the dark, our minds play tricks on us and tiny noises can seem terrifying. We wanted to create something that evoked the spirit of the forest at night, with some of the animals for whom the dark forest is the safest place. The man endlessly circles the tree searching for a ghost, sometimes he catches it in the beam of his torch, but can he be sure of what he saw?”

The Night Howl watch fits seamlessly into Mr Jones Watches’ macabre collection, alongside fan favourites like The Accurate and The Last Laugh—both inspired by the Memento Mori tradition. With a focus on artistic design, each timepiece from Mr Jones aims to remind its wearer to seize the day, live in the moment, and embrace life’s mysteries. Night Howl carries on this tradition, using Xavier Broche’s evocative artwork to spark curiosity and adventure.

The Night Howl watch is a striking piece, made with a 37mm stainless steel case and a sapphire glass for durability. It’s powered by a Swiss-made single jewel quartz mechanism, ensuring precision alongside its spooky design. The watch is water-resistant up to 5ATM, meaning it’s ready for your next eerie adventure—whether that’s exploring a misty forest at night or simply enjoying the magic of Halloween.

Available exclusively from Mr Jones Watches, Night Howl is perfect for those who embrace the dark side and have a taste for the mysterious. If you’re searching for a timepiece that’s more than just a watch—one that tells a story, evokes emotion, and looks fantastically unique—the Night Howl is the perfect addition to your collection.
