A perfectly useless morning

£ 225

Relax and spend time with nature. This watch encourages you to feel at peace with the world.

A perfectly useless morning was designed by illustrator Kristof Devos as a reminder to live in the moment.

Kristof explains his design inspiration:

"Lying in the grass and looking at the birds in the sky is one of my favourite pastimes, I really wanted to put this feeling into a watch.

My last name ‘Devos’, means ’The Fox’ [in Flemish]. Because of mysterious family history, I’m the first one born with this name, so it’s somewhat special to me. It like a new bloodline starts with ’Devos'. I have always felt close to the animal, although I’ve rarely seen a fox in the wild."

This watch is a companion piece to Kristof's previous design: A perfectly useless afternoon. As with the first, it's a gentle reminder that time spent doing nothing, is time well spent.

How to read the time:

  • The delicate falling leaf points to the hour
  • The circling bird shows you the minutes.

The tree trunks around the outside of the dial are positioned exactly where you'd expect to see numbers on a watch face, to help you read the time with precision.

A perfectly useless morning was designed in Belgium, then made by our small team right here in London, UK.

Shipping guide for t-shirts

All t-shirts on our website are now printed and shipped by an external supplier inside the UK. This means that if you place an order for both a watch and a t-shirt, they will be shipped separately.

Our supplier uses a Royal Mail tracked service for all shipments and this usually takes a little longer than our watches. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

 

Please note, during busy sale periods dispatch may take a little longer (this is quite rare). These delivery times are a guide based on the carriers terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch.
