Catarina Morais

Catarina explains her inspiration for London Tails:

"When I moved to London five years ago, I was immediately mesmerised by the city’s life, diversity, and energy. Living here has sparked a sense of discovery and to this day, I find there is always more to explore.

Tails of London’s narrative focuses on the character and her curious dog and their exploration of an ever-growing city.

To do this, the design uses the overlapping of different layers to reveal more details of the city as the day goes by.

The design displays this sense of curiosity and discovery - walking through a massive city and exploring more and more at each step."

Catarina Morais (she/her) is a Portuguese Illustrator.

Before settling in the UK, Catarina started her artistic journey by studying at Escola Artística António Arroio, in Lisbon. There she studied Jewellery and Drawing, which allowed her to develop her interests in Design and Visual Communication.

Catarina is now based in South London, and graduated in Illustration from Camberwell College of Arts, UAL.

Her work mainly focuses on busy compositions of interacting characters. She has developed her style mainly through observing the busy lives of people in London and the connections of people around her.

She uses bold colours, curated into limited colour palettes, accentuating blocked shapes and simplified, funky proportions through her work.

We are proud to count Catarina amongst the small team here at Mr Jones Watches, where she works assembling watches.

She was also responsible for the beautiful murals that decorate our Neal Street store.

Shipping guide for t-shirts

Our t-shirts are printed by us and shipped from our workshop in London. This means if you place an order for both a watch and t-shirt(s), they will be shipped together via an express service. Delivery times for these can be found here.

If you order a t-shirt without a watch, it will be shipped via a Royal Mail tracked service which usually takes a little longer. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

Shipping guide for watch straps

If purchased separately from your watch, watch straps will be shipped with Royal Mail 1st Class / International tracked shipping.

This takes 2-14 working days depending on location. You can see a more accurate timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

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.

Return your watch for an exchange

We are happy to exchange unworn watches.

Fastening the watch will cause damage to the leather. If this is the case, we charge for the watch strap (or we can put the worn strap on the exchanged watch for free).

Please email us directly if you think your watch is faulty.

Return your watch for a refund

To return for a full refund, you have 30 days if purchased online. After this time we can offer an exchange if your watch hasn’t been worn.

If you purchased your watch in-store, we can offer an exchange or store credit only. This is because you’ve seen the watch in person and had the opportunity to try it on. Please let us know if you’re purchasing as a gift.
