This space exists both outside time and at all possible moments in time simultaneously. Gods, Goddesses and sacred objects from different cultures, places and times are present within this timeless world. At the top of the dial the bejewelled all-seeing eye watches over the world, looking back at us and making the link between their world and ours. My aims are always to expand the dimensions of an image to the farthest possible degree and to create contradictions and suggestions within that space.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1048\" data-local-id=\"10f042c8799e\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-renderer-mark=\"true\"\u003eMade in London\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1811\" data-local-id=\"3eb83ba1884f\"\u003eThe Indefatigable Sphinx was a real labour of love to produce, each watch representing many hours of work over several years. Technically it is the most complicated piece we’ve ever created, it has more layers of colour across the dial and hour disc than we’ve ever used on a single watch before. Each colour in the design was mixed by hand, before being printed layer by layer and assembled by our dedicated team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1811\" data-local-id=\"3eb83ba1884f\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-renderer-mark=\"true\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2246\" data-local-id=\"e99aff25c4f0\"\u003eEach watch is powered by a beautiful Swiss made Sellita movement, with a jump hour module that was designed by Johannes Jahnke for Christopher Ward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2413\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003eMedium \/ large size (40mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2443\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003eSellita \u003cspan class=\"acronym-highlight\"\u003eSW200\u003c\/span\u003e with a jump hour module designed by Johannes Jahnke for Christopher Ward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2443\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003eHandmade 20mm leather sourced from the only remaining oak-bark tannery in Britain (J\u0026amp;FJ Baker), the strap will be sized to your wrist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2443\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003eHard-wearing domed sapphire glass (front) and mineral case (back)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2443\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003eFive year warranty included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2443\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003e316L silver stainless steel case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-renderer-start-pos=\"2443\" data-local-id=\"6e9575e61ec6\"\u003eWaterproof Rated 5ATM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mr Jones Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57627657568639,"sku":null,"price":2100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/1225\/4847\/files\/mjw_1.jpg?v=1779892135","url":"https:\/\/buyingtimefoundation.com\/products\/the-indefatigable-sphinx","provider":"Buying Time Foundation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
