The 'A Perfectly Useless Afternoon' timepiece is a quirky accessory from Mr. Jones Watches that's characterized by its distinctly laid-back artwork that's the work of illustrator Kristof Devos. The watch features a dial with a swimming pool background that is accented by a bather floating relaxingly on the water's surface in place of traditional timepiece hands. This acts as a clever way to convey the time, while also making wearers crave a little time off as they go about their daily routine.
The 'A Perfectly Useless Afternoon' timepiece by Mr. Jones Watches and Kristof Devos is limited to just 100 examples and is part of the increased popularity of playful formal fashion products. This comes as a way for consumers to show off their personality and profess their prowess for relaxation.
