- Today we take a look at a very special British watch brand. Who hand make and assemble their watches right here in England. They feature some incredibly weird and wonderful designs with automatic movements and sapphire crystals. But what do you think of this British watch brand? let me know down in the comments.

You've reminded me to take another look at this brand. I'm not swallowing the "Made In Britain" stuff apart from those superb dials of course. Assembled and regulated, yes If they become as successful as they deserve to be prices could climb a lot. I must get one picked out and bought before then
I get that, the cases and movements are made elsewhere, but the important, fun stuff is done in London. I have a lot of respect to these guys. Especially the price point too!
@TopTierTicker Made an order for the Tiger dial today. Reminds me of Blake's poem ‘Tyger Tyger, burning bright". They can let their prices rip now. 😉
Yeah, the "made in Britain" thing is dubious, at best. They're doing the same thing Shinola did in the US, claiming it was "made in the USA" because it was assembled here from Chinese parts. I don't know what sort of regulatory committee in Great Britain would be overseeing that claim, but here in the States, Shinola got slapped around a few times by the Federal Trade Commission for their claims of origin.
Been Looking at MJW for a while, and have heard & seen nothing but great things, will be adding to my small collection soon.
Thanks for your Reviews
Peace out
Unbelievably fun pieces. Like I said at the end, only occasional wear pieces, but a hell of a lot of fun!
this is indeed very unique
Incredibly so! I don't think there's a single other watch brand offering this kind of service or designs.
Did we ever go away? 😜... Really good detailed video - I used to own an MJW and it's the first watch I bought my fiancée (still in her collection) cool brand and the design element is their real unique selling point as you convey so well in this video 😎🍻
Honorable mentions to Farer and Marloe and Christopher Ward I reckon, I'm sure I've forgotten a few more 🇬🇧 😅
Niceee, my misses is after nicking this one off me 😆 I do like the other British brand too, but I feel like MJW is the only one that's actually doing the creative / assembly in house. I'm sure a lot of them are just based in the UK and import completed watches from Asia. Seeing the MJ workshop in action is amazing. Proper craftsmanship 💪
Aah Mr Jones watches, what a great insight you have done here, honest and forthright. I'm a big fan, I love how they select movements based on what is best for the job in hand rather than supporting a specific manufacturer or country of origin. That being said, I can't think of another stainless steel, handmade, artist designed watch, with a Swiss automatic movement for less than £550. I love how whimsical they are, very much an antidote to the stuffy, snobbery of the watch industry. Why not have something on your wrist that will tell the time and make you smile at the same time. Let's face it if you want to just know the time your smartphone phone will do that for you and be mech more accurate than most watches. I agree about the lugs but I can also see as they are art peices they kind of work like a frame around the price, I also like how they don't rip you off for accessories like straps as most watch makers do. The British are Killing it with watches right now with companies like Mr Jones, Christopher Ward, Schofield, Marloe, and Isotope all making great watches.
Yep! We're finally bringing British watchmaking back 💪 thanks to some great brands, like the ones you mentioned.
I agree on the movement selection comment too, they clearly don't mark their watches up astronomically, just a tidy profit margin with each watch
I have the Skull one… I want the alien one but it’s currently sold out.
I like that Skull piece too. And the robot one on the pinball machine!
Very unique and as you say....fun!
Really beautiful designs, I agree about the lugs but it looks nice on the mesh bracelet. Cheers for another great video 👍
Thanks Rik! So unique these watches, and I must admit, a bit of patriotism came out when making this video. I'm proud that England is making something so cool!
@@TopTierTicker Totally agree mate, designed and manufactured in London! That's pretty special!
You are forgiven for the Avi 8 review now by making a video on a decent British brand..Well done Mr Ticker💥
Hi mate, I have the "Beam Me Up" and recently reviewed it. Only complaint is the polished back.
Very enjoyable! I think I’ll keep an eye out for one I really like.
I have "Mare Adesso" and "The promise of happiness". I really like the creativity of these watches and often times end up getting lost in the designs when checking the time. They're a little bit tricky to tell the time, but after wearing for a while I'm only ever out by maybe a minute or two at most.
Unfortunately none of their releases this year have truly grabbed my attention although there is a couple in their current collection that I wouldnt mind acquiring.
I've never really owned a watch before I bought my MJWs and they have peaked my interest into the world of watches. I'm not really sure where to go from here as £250 is about as much as I want to spend on a watch so I may just stick with MJW for now.
Looks beautiful ❤ auto subscribe 👌
Wow that’s really cool! Might have to pick one of these up :)
Something completely different, perfect piece to have in a large collection, especially the jump hour mechanical ones...
I have the Blueberry Late Again. People either get it or they don't.
The prices has increased by 50£ now. 😐
That's actually quite reasonable, all things considered. Prices in London are CRAZYYY!
@@TopTierTicker I am from India my friend and I just checked the London price and now it is 295£ which is way more than what you have mentioned in the video .
Btw I absolutely loved the mare adesso since I am a diver and loved the orca and sea stuff. Added it to my wish list. ♥️
@@vipinsuriya007 I understand, but I don't have any control over how brand price their watches. I simply state the prices as of the time of recording
@@TopTierTicker absolutely!! The video is old one. Was just stating the current price to the respective buyers.
Would you please tell me I would be spending my hard earned money on the Christopher ward 12 in 40mm glacier blue colour for my 7.25 inch wrist.
Is that watch really that good as every reviewer says ? Is that a watch that can last decades if taken care of ? For reference I found the overall quality of prx to be a 7/10. Is TWELVE atleast a 9 ?
Thank you in advance.
Got my eye on bvor watch company uk based
I've had Mr. Jones on my radar for a while now, because of their very unique designs. Thanks for going more in-depth on the brand and their method and history, that's really cool to see!
Very welcome, this brand has quickly shot up to being one of my favourites in the world. The story, uniqueness and creative process is something special!
Just to help with the pronunciation. It's MA - REH AD - ESSO ( Like esso garage )
Thank you! I was unsure on how to say it, and went for the way that made most sense in Northern English 😆
I have to get me one been wanting one for a while probably the robot
Oooo nice choice! The way they make that model is fantastic. Check out their Instagram page to see 👀
You certainly manage to butcher the pronunciation of the „mare adesso“!
I tried.
@@TopTierTicker just google it and listen to the original italian, you will see that you didn‘t really try, sorry!
