Track the time like a tiger with this miniature jungle scene.

This unique watch encourages you to have fun with your time.

The playful tiger looks to the moon for the hour and you’ll find the minutes camouflaged within his stripes.

This intricate piece of wearable artwork was hand-painted for us by Fanny Shorter.

We then printed each colour of the design layer by layer, and assembled the watch in our London workshop.

The layered print on the watch, makes the time completely integrated within the jungle scene.

How to read the time

The moon in the night sky will show you the hour, the minutes pass through the tigers stripes.

The watch also has a jump hour feature, so the hour flips in the moon, exactly on the 59 > 00 minute shift, blink and you’ll miss it!

Watch movement

The Promise of Happiness is powered by a 20 jewel automatic mechanical movement.

This means the motion of wearing your watch provides the power to wind it up and keep it running.

Checklist for the watch return:

• Ensure the watch is securely wrapped in the original packaging or bubble wrap/void fill if you don’t have this.

• Please include a note with your name and email address, so we know from whom the watch has been sent.

Made in London

Each colour you see in the design was mixed by hand, before being airbrushed and printed layer by layer and assembled by our dedicated workshop team here in London.

Automatic mechanical

This means your watch has no battery, instead it's powered by the movement of your wrist!

If you don’t wear your watch for a while, then the movement will run out of power and your watch will stop.

When this happens, you can manually wind it (turn the winding crown on the side of the watch clockwise 20-30 times) or just wear it to get it running again.
