When you’ve done something iconic like design the network of road signs for the UK, finding your next big project can be a tall order. Like second album syndrome among musicians, the prospect of following up your debut is daunting.

Fortunately, that hasn’t plagued Margaret Calvert – the lady who did just that. She’s collaborated with the folks over atMr Jones Watchesto create their brand new model – the M1.

Crafted using the blue hue of motorway signage and marked with white hands and a white border in the same manner, thewatchis reminiscent of Calvert’s most iconic work. The result is a watch which is evocative of the road signage Calvert is famous for.

Given the inspiration for this timepiece, it should be no surprise that this is an incredibly legible dial. The hands are chunky, with only the hours and minutes marked out, as is common for designs from Mr Jones Watches.

Speaking about the piece, Calvert said, “It’s about absolute simplicity, as the design puts all the emphasis on the hands - no need for numbers. I like the 3D effect that the layering of the hands creates. The dial has the motorway blue background with the white border as on the original signs.”

Inside, you’ll find aquartz movementpowering things. That’s perfect for longevity and accuracy. Plus, with no seconds hand on board, you won’t have to see the ticking hand, either.
