''Central to the way the design progressed was developing the theme of the on stage 'death' and the drive of performers to go to ever greater lengths to elicit laughs from a crowd. The skull references the'tears of a clown' concept, the widely held belief that comedians are essentially quite sad in nature and the rather pointless desire that many stand-ups have to have last laugh.''The watch is powered by a 20 jewel automatic mechanical movement. The mechanical movement means that you'll never need to replace the battery on this watch - the motion of wearing the watch provides all the power needed to wind it up and keep it running. The watch movement has a 'jump-hour' feature that means the hour changes over exactly on the 59 -> 00 minute transition.Designed with comedian William Andrews, this watch forgoes the customary hour and minute hands, instead the time is displayed on a skull’s teeth. The eyes and the nose are mirrored and the overall impression is of a gleefully absurd memento mori - an object intended to remind us that life is brief.William Andrews is Comedian and writer with a background in design and photography. He’s a BAFTA winner and can’t stand Michael winner, with a comedy sketch show on BBC radio 4 and over 10 years of stand up experience. All of his fingers are in pies.
