Number Cruncher

£ 295

A creative and colourful watch, to encourage you to have fun with your time.

This playful watch was designed by artist and character designer Onorio D’Epiro. The monster has the hour in his hand and the minutes in his stomach.

Number Cruncher is a hungry monster, he stomps around cities on the hunt for tasty treats - he steals from clocks mostly, but he's not fussy - he’ll even eat cars and the odd person!

Number Cruncher is plucking the hours from the sky, while the minutes churn around in his stomach, mixing with all the debris of his rampage.

Onorio explains his design inspiration:

“My fascination with monsters and weird, wonderful creatures stems from my childish imagination and a love of simple, bold design.

I’d previously worked on a collection that combined photographic imagery with my illustrations - I really like the contrast between the fine detail of the photography and the bold colour of the drawing.

With Number Cruncher I wanted to try and tell a miniature story - the watch is a snapshot of a narrative and the viewer feels a range of emotions for the monster in his new surroundings. 

The idea that someone may be wearing this little rampaging creature stuck inside a city in a watch brings a smile to my face.”

Number Cruncher was printed and assembled by us here in London. Each colour on the components was printed in turn - the glasses alone have been through 12 separate printings.

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.
