# Death Watch The "Accurate" Reminds "You Will Die" By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-03-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-watch-the-accurate-by-mr-jones-watches References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/03/28/the-accurate-watch-reminds-you-of-unavoidable-death/) This has got to be the most depressing watch in the history of time: a watch that reminds you in writing every time you look at it that you will kick the bucket some day. The "Accurate" by Mr Jones Watches also has a mirrored face so every time you look at it you will see your face. Duh! Who came up with this design? Was the designer out of Prozac that day? If you prefer, like I do, to look at this gadget from a more positive outlook, the watch is reminding you to live life to its fullest and...Oh what's the point. We're all going to die anyway! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Memento Mori:** Designing products that embrace the concept of mortality, creating a new market for thought-provoking reminders of life's impermanence. - **Emotional Accessories:** Developing wearables and personal accessories that evoke a range of emotions or promote self-reflection, offering a unique and interactive user experience. - **Existential Wellness:** Exploring the intersection of mental well-being and philosophical reflections through innovative lifestyle products, fostering personal growth and contemplation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Integrating existential themes into fashion accessories, providing consumers with unique and meaningful items that spark introspection. - **Technology:** Incorporating emotional elements into wearable devices, enhancing user engagement and creating a deeper connection between technology and human emotions. - **Wellness:** Introducing wellness products that encourage self-reflection and mindfulness, addressing the existential aspects of mental and emotional well-being. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oppositional Mantra Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-jones-watches-feline-fine.md) - [Breakup-Celebrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myex.md) - [Meditative Vibrating Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stund-watch.md) - [Mexican Tradition-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-day-of-the-dead-weekender.md) - [Stress-Reducing Screenless Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowatch.md) - [Robotically Accented Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czapek-antarctique-rattrapante-rur.md) - [Asymmetrical Shadowy Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-evil-omen.md) - [Time Awareness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-is-too-short1.md) - [Death Prediction Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-clock-app.md)
