Mr Jones Watches Ricochet

Mr Jones Watches Ricochet is celebrated for its unique art style and conversational appeal, featuring a gold-leaf foiling technique and a jumping hour display.

From video reviewers

The Tissot Ballade's unique, intricately cut ribbed bezel design adds depth and character to the case. The watch's stunning finishing is a notable strength, suggesting a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A drawback is the somewhat lacking lume brightness, which may be a concern for those who plan to wear it in low-light conditions.
