The short answer
The closest alternative to the Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon is the Timex Peanuts x Timex Marlin Automatic Space 40mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2W87200 ($339) — common cross-shop and Playful dial. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Black White the Swatch Art Peace Hotel at $90 (vs $195 for the A perfectly useless afternoon) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Tree Frog is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Playful dial. Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Bison 96A333 ($750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
