Onorio D'Epiro

Onorio explains his design inspiration for Monster Melter 3000:

“I’ve always had a love for sci-fi movies such as Alien, Blade Runner and 2001.

So I really wanted to design a watch that pays homage to this genre in cinema.

The final battle in Aliens has always stuck with me as a really cool moment and I used this as inspiration but with my own playful twist.

I mean, who doesn’t love a drooling tentacle monster with 30 eyes! My main aim is to design a fun watch that makes you smile every time you look at your wrist.”

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

Shipping guide for watches:

- FREE DHL Express shipping, 2-4 working days

 We now include all duties and taxes in the price of your watch.

This means, the price you pay when you checkout is the full price and you will not have to pay any extra charges.

Shipping to Germany: please note due to new legislation in Germany we are no longer able to pre-pay import fees.

This means we will reimburse you after you have paid the bill. To do this we will need: your proof of import fee payment, your full name (of bank account holder), your BIC and IBAN numbers.

Please email us info@mrjoneswatches.com with this information after you have paid the import charge.

Shipping guide for t-shirts: 

All t-shirts are printed by us and shipped from our workshop in London. This means if you place an order for both a watch and t-shirt(s), they will be shipped together via DHL. Delivery times for these can be found on our shipping guide here.

If you order a t-shirt without a watch, it will be shipped via a Royal Mail tracked service which usually takes a little longer. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

Shipping guide for straps (unless purchased with a watch): 

Free Royal Mail shipping, 3-7 working days (depending on location)

These delivery times are a guide based on the DHL, FedEx and Royal Mail terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch. 

Return your watch for an exchange

We are happy to exchange unworn watches.

Fastening the watch will cause damage to the leather. If this is the case, we charge for the watch strap (or we can put the worn strap on the exchanged watch for free).

Please email us directly if you think your watch is faulty.

Return your watch for a refund

To return for a full refund, you have 30 days if purchased online. After this time we can offer an exchange if your watch hasn’t been worn.

If you purchased your watch in-store, we can offer an exchange or store credit only. This is because you’ve seen the watch in person and had the opportunity to try it on. Please let us know if you’re purchasing as a gift.

T-shirt returns and Exchanges

We recommend checking the measurements of our t-shirts on our size guide before placing your order, you can also check them here
