Watch Description
A design to encourage you to confront your hidden monsters.
This new limited edition watch watch was designed for us by Chinese Artist Yico Liu:
The character on the dial of the watch is surrounded by two monster hands, printed with semi-transparent ink.
At different points in time, the monster’s hands cover the mouth, eyes or the ears of the character.
The position of these two hands mark the hours and minutes as they move around the face.
Yico explains her inspiration behind the design:
“My design is about those feelings and thoughts that hold us back. I visualise these feelings as being like a monster who I can't see but who messes things up for us.
Sometimes the monster covers our mouth or covers our eyes to stop us from seeing or expressing ourselves as we want to.
The monster in my design is a bit ambiguous - some times it looks like it's cuddling or stroking the face while at others it's smothering or strangling it. Like maybe sometimes it’s nice to not see or not speak.
The design fits into a larger body of work that I've made which explores the different monsters that people carry with them.
The title of the watch refers to the idea that while we can try and outrun these monsters they are as tied to us as our shadows.”
Each watch was printed and assembled one at a time, by hand; before being assembled in turn by our small and talented team in London.
This watch is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, available exclusively from Mr Jones Watches.

# Mr Jones Silent Shadow LE-100 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Mr Jones Silent Shadow LE-100 is a striking artistic statement watch from British microbrand Mr Jones Watches, featuring a haunting black dial with a cloaked shadowy figure whose extended arm delivers a jumping hour display from 1 to 12 alongside a central continuous minutes hand and no seconds, powered by a modified automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement offering a 38-hour power reserve, ideal for art-loving collectors seeking a bold, unconventional time-only piece in a wearable 42mm stainless steel case with subtle 50m water resistance.
## Overall Watch Rating: 6.6/10.0
**Dials & Design Metric (9.5/10.0)** - The shadowy cloaked figure jumping to indicate hours creates an artistic masterpiece on par with the most imaginative dials from independents like Konstantin Chaykin.
**Material Metric (8.0/10.0)** - Solid 316L stainless steel construction with double-domed AR-coated sapphire delivers premium everyday durability comparable to mid-tier Oris divers.
**Rarity Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, it offers collector exclusivity similar to many microbrand limited editions under $5,000.
**History & Innovation Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Mr Jones' clever modification of a standard movement for the jumping hour mechanism showcases fresh British ingenuity on par with early H. Moser innovations.
**Movement Metric (7.0/10.0)** - The regulated Sellita SW200-1 with jumping hour mod provides reliable automatic performance akin to workhorse ETA 2824 upgrades in accessible luxury watches.
**Brand Metric (6.5/10.0)** - As an enthusiast microbrand focused on artistic designs, it punches above typical high-premium peers like Nomos Glashütte in creativity.
**Versatility Metric (6.0/10.0)** - Suited for casual or statement dress occasions but limited by low water resistance and bold aesthetics, much like a typical field watch with flair.
**Complications Metric (4.5/10.0)** - The jumping hour adds a novel twist but remains basic compared to even entry-level chronographs from Seiko.
**Functions Metric (2.5/10.0)** - Time-only display falls short of modern expectations, trailing behind average smartwatches or basic three-handers.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.1
## WM Collector Grade: C
## Performance Insights: Excels in design, materials, rarity, and innovation for collectors but undermined by minimal functions, modest versatility, and basic complications, delivering fair artistic value at its ~$2,000 price versus more practical alternatives.
## TPS Interpretation: Average Value: The watch offers standout aesthetics and exclusivity for niche tastes but lacks broad utility relative to its price point.
