The short answer

The closest alternative to the Mr Jones Watches Monster Melter 1904 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 $225 for the Monster Melter 1904) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Year of the Horse is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Playful dial. Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Longhorn 96A334 ($750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
