Kristof Devos

Kristof explains his design inspiration:

"To emphasise that feeling of being comfortably disconnected, I created a scene, inspired mostly by my own living room, that I personally find most enjoyable:

reading with warm sunlight streaming through the window; a cat snuggled next to you on the sofa, surrounded by plants and with the phone off the hook.

In a sense, Unplugged is a blend of both my youth and my life today. The technology in the scene is a throwback: the record player, the walkman, the rotary dial telephone and the TV.

These items are meant to remind the wearer of the watch how disconnected – unplugged – we were just a few years ago, and how much things have changed since.

The watch also conveys that it’s not too late to unplug, even today: the choice is yours, and it’s actually not that difficult to do.”

Kristof Devos is a Belgian Illustrator and Author. The core of his work is as a picture-book illustrator.

He creates books for children of all ages on themes such as friendship, death and standing up for yourself.

His work has been described as both quirky and modest. Once in a while he puts down his pencil and takes to the stage, giving public talks on diverse themes such as inspiration and imagination.

Kristof’s work has been translated into a number of different languages and his books are available in a number of countries around the world. His illustrations have been shown both domestically and in several international exhibitions.

His work has received multiple rewards, including a “White Raven”, a “3x3 Mag Merit” and an “Award of Excellence” by the prestigious Commarts Competition.

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.
