#NWA My Wife surprised me with the Mr Jones Watches “Ascendent” by Artist Marion Labbez. The gilding is palladium applied to the crystal. The stars are the minutes on a rotation downward towards the horizon and the hours are a jump hour mechanism displayed in tree branches. The watch says that it’s approaching 7:55, btw.

How? It’s beautiful but I feel like I’d take forever to know what time it is.

Pretty easy to read when the light is ok. Silver is 30, large gold is 10, small gold is 5. I find it takes me one to two seconds to get the time. You can guess within a minute or two. The only real problem is low light environments.

I love this. I spent quite a while in their shop playing with various models. I'm torn between this and Paper Crane.
