A creative and colorful watch, to encourage you to have fun with your time. This playful watch was designed by artist and character designer Onorio D’Epiro. The monster has the hour in his hand and the minutes in his stomach. Number Cruncher is a hungry monster, he stomps around cities on the hunt for tasty treats – he steals from clocks mostly, but he’s not fussy – he’ll even eat cars and the odd person! Number Cruncher is plucking the hours from the sky, while the minutes churn around in his stomach, mixing with all the debris of his rampage.
Onorio explains his design inspiration:
“My fascination with monsters and weird, wonderful creatures stems from my childish imagination and a love of simple, bold design. I’d previously worked on a collection that combined photographic imagery with my illustrations – I really like the contrast between the fine detail of the photography and the bold color of the drawing.
With Number Cruncher I wanted to try and tell a miniature story – the watch is a snapshot of a narrative and the viewer feels a range of emotions for the monster in his new surroundings. The idea that someone may be wearing this little rampaging creature stuck inside a city in a watch brings a smile to my face.”
Number Cruncher was printed and assembled in London. Each color on the components was printed in turn – the glasses alone have been through 12 separate printings.
