This is the automatic mechanical version of The Accurate watch.

This watch features a beautiful Swiss movement that is visible through the glass case back.

The 40mm case is also slightly larger than the original quartz (37mm) design.

A unique memento mori watch.

This is the most accurate wristwatch you can buy.

The metal hour hand reads "remember", the minute hand "you will die".

The Accurate is a link to the tradition of the memento mori - an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here.

The design is also a play on the notion of accuracy in time keeping - this watch is accurate in a rather more fundamental sense than the traditional horological measures...

The Accurate mechanical

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made Sellita SW200 movement.

This automatic mechanical movement is known for its precision, reliability, and robustness.  

It’s more than just a movement, it’s a mark of quality, reliability, and Swiss precision without the inflated luxury-brand markup.

Details matter. That’s why we’ve included two straps.

First up is a high-quality calfskin leather strap, sourced from the only remaining oak-bark tannery in Britain.

Rich in heritage and craftsmanship, each strap features completely unique textures and details, making every piece one-of-a-kind.

Then there’s the brushed silver stainless steel bracelet. It's sleek, solid, and perfect for a polished look.

If you’d like to swap the stainless steel bracelet for a different strap, click the customise button above to preview the options.

Not into leather? Just leave us a note at checkout (this won't affect the price of your watch).

The Inspiration

Designed by Crispin Jones

This is one of the original designs that I created for a series of watches back in 2005. Those watches were one-off pieces, designed for an exhibition exploring our relationship to technology.

Following the exhibition I produced a small edition of watches that people could buy, as opposed to looking at them in a glass cabinet, of which The Accurate was one.

The initial series was released in 2007 abd each watch was produced in a 100 piece edition. The Accurate sold out in a matter of months (which was tremendously exciting - I’d expected it would take years).

As people kept asking to buy this design I updated it and it became the first watch reissued into our Permanent Collection.

The Accurate is the great survivor of our lineup - it’s been part of Mr Jones Watches right from the very start. Over the years it has been available in a whole range of different sizes and styles.

What’s remained consistent through all these changes is the central message of the watch: that we should all enjoy life while we can.

We aim to dispatch all orders within 1-2 working days.

When your order is dispatched, your tracking details will be updated.

If you have opted for a custom engraving please allow an additional 1-2 working days.

If you are purchasing during a sale or a limited edition release - you can expect an email update with an estimated dispatch date if there any changes to the timeframe.

If you are in a hurry for your watch, please email us.
