This special edition version of Mr. Jones Watches ‘The Last Laugh’ features artwork by British Tattoo artist Adrian Willard. He works in a traditional old-school style using simple, bold lines and just 3 or 4 colors in his tattoos. He explains the sugar-skull design for the watch face, “skulls have always been a very popular subject in tattooing, a part of the rebel culture that it once represented. These days tattooing is quite mainstream but the skull remains the classic image. The sugar skull comes from a the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. Sugar skulls are gifts that can be given to both the living and the dead.” See the Mr. Jones Last Laugh watch in motion in a time-lapse video and buy it at Watchismo.com.
