Watch Description
A creative and colourful watch, to encourage you to have fun with your time.
This playful watch was designed by artist and character designer Onorio D’Epiro. The monster has the hour in his hand and the minutes in his stomach.
Number Cruncher is a hungry monster, he stomps around cities on the hunt for tasty treats - he steals from clocks mostly, but he's not fussy - he’ll even eat cars and the odd person!
Number Cruncher is plucking the hours from the sky, while the minutes churn around in his stomach, mixing with all the debris of his rampage.
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.”
Number Cruncher was printed and assembled by us here in London. Each colour on the components was printed in turn - the glasses alone have been through 12 separate printings.

# Mr Jones Number Cruncher Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Mr Jones Number Cruncher is an avant-garde statement watch blending retro calculator aesthetics with mechanical ingenuity, featuring seven rotating black ceramic discs that digitally display hours and minutes in a pixelated style, powered by a modified Miyota 9015 automatic movement offering 42 hours of power reserve, ideal for bold collectors and design enthusiasts who want a 43mm stainless steel case with 50m water resistance and a playful, conversation-starting vibe.
## Overall Watch Rating: 6.9/10.0
**Dials & Design Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Its revolutionary mechanical digital disc display outshines even high-end independents like MB&F in originality and whimsy.
**Material Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Premium stainless steel with double-domed sapphire crystal rivals entry-level luxury divers like the Oris Aquis.
**Versatility Metric (7.8/10.0)** - Excels as casual, sporty, or statement wear but limited by its quirky look for formal settings, akin to a modern take on Swatch Moonswatch.
**Movement Metric (7.2/10.0)** - The customized Miyota 9015 delivers reliable automatic performance comparable to Seiko's workhorses but lacks in-house prestige.
**History & Innovation Metric (6.8/10.0)** - Pioneering disc mechanism boosts a young brand's score to match niche innovators like Nomos early on.
**Brand Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Enthusiast microbrand status with low production elevates it above mid-tier like Hamilton but below established premiums.
**Rarity Metric (5.7/10.0)** - Limited microbrand runs provide moderate scarcity similar to early Christopher Ward models at this price.
**Functions Metric (4.5/10.0)** - Basic time-only keeps it simple like a minimalist field watch, missing multifunctionality.
**Complications Metric (1.0/10.0)** - Pure timekeeping with no extras lags behind even basic date-equipped quartz like Casio.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 7.4
## WM Collector Grade: A-
## Performance Insights: Excels in design innovation and material quality while lagging in complications and functions, offering strong value well below its implied price for quirky collectors.
## TPS Interpretation: Good Value: The watch delivers standout aesthetics and build at its price with room for more utility.
