Onorio D'Epiro
Onorio explains his design inspiration:
“My fascination with monsters and weird, wonderful creatures stems from my childish imagination and a love of simple, bold design.
I’d previously worked on a collection that combined photographic imagery with my illustrations - I really like the contrast between the fine detail of the photography and the bold colour of the drawing.
With Number Cruncher I wanted to try and tell a miniature story - the watch is a snapshot of a narrative and the viewer feels a range of emotions for the monster in his new surroundings.
The idea that someone may be wearing this little rampaging creature stuck inside a city in a watch brings a smile to my face.”
Onorio D’Epiro is a designer and illustrator from Bedfordshire, England. As a child he developed a fascination for character design and special effects and mastered the video recorder at a precocious age in order to feed his passion for film.
He studied Model Design and Special Effects at the University of Hertfordshire and after graduating was drawn to the world of designer art toys. He began by creating one-off bespoke pieces and later developed a series of robot collectables known as “Justrobots”, which gained a dedicated following around the world.
His work has been exhibited widely including at The Pictoplasma Portrait Gallery in Berlin, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the MARCO Museo de Arte, Contemporano in Mexico City.
He is currently working on developing some of his characters for a children’s television series. Check it out for yourself at: onoriodepiro.work

Mr Jones Watches Distribution Ltd. (returns)
Building M5, Floor 2
25 Rayko Daskalov St
Plovdiv 4000
Bulgaria
Made in London
Each colour in the design was mixed by hand, before being printed layer by layer - just the glass alone goes through 12 separate printings!
Each watch was then hand assembled before going through our strict quality control process.
Powered by your movement
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 (24 - 48 hours), then the movement will run out of power and your watch will stop.
When this happens, you can manually wind it by turning the winding crown on the side of the watch clockwise (20-30 times) or just wear it to get it running again.
