Episode five: interview with Edward Carvalho-Monaghan

In this week's episode we interview artist and illustrator, Edward Carvalho-Monaghan. Edward has previously designed watches such as The Last Bloom, Edward's World, Psychedelic Sunsets, Chaos Window and Vanishing point.  

Edward shares how he started designing for Mr Jones Watches when he met founder and director of MJW, Crispin at the Pick Me Up art fair. 

Edward explains how the watches Edward he has previously designed for Mr Jones Watches have documented how his art has developed over the years. 

We discuss his experience at Central Saint Martins and how he has evolved his artwork over the years in order to work independently. 

Edward talks through the different inspiration for his past watch designs and current projects including a new watch for Mr Jones Watches coming later this year. 

We discuss Edward's creative inspiration and how it has developed over the years from music to architecture and philosophy.

Edward explains how challenging it was to work with Mr Jones Watches to design a watch and create a circular composition.

We also discuss his design process and how it was altered to design a watch due to the introduction of elements such as the watch movement.
