Mr Jones Watches

A Perfectly Useless Afternoon Wristwatch

$255.00

Designed by Kristof Devos and hand-assembled in London by Mr Jones Watches, the “a perfectly useless afternoon” wristwatch features a character comfortably lounging on a pool float atop its dial. Charmingly, the direction of the character’s foot indicates the hour, and the position of a nearby floating duck signifies the minutes. It’s a vibrant and summery timepiece that acts as a reminder to dedicate time to relaxation.

Cancelli Rosato

$27.00

The 40-year-old vines growing at the Iole Rabasco estate in Abruzzo, Italy—where Cancelli Rosato is produced—are almost all montepulciano. They’re worked by hand and never treated with chemicals. The result is a low-intervention wine (no added sulfur and no filtering, with spontaneous filtration) that’s bright and lively, with notes of red currants and strawberries and just a little acidity. Slightly chilled, it makes for a delightful spring or summertime sip.

Available to ship throughout the US, these oysters embody the fresh taste of New York’s Long Island. Harvested daily in Little Peconic Bay, they feature deep-cupped bottom shells (whose golden color palette evokes that of a croissant) that imbue the oysters with greater flavor. Their liquor (natural liquid) is bright and salty but not overwhelmingly so. Altogether, Peeko’s shellfish are balanced with a punchy brine and tinge of sweetness.
