To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Beanotown's ultimate troublemaker, Dennis the Menace, Mr Jones Watches has created a mischievous, limited-edition timepiece designed, printed, and assembled in London. The watch dial playfully unfolds like a classic comic strip, featuring Dennis in his iconic red-and-black stripes tracking the minutes, while his canine sidekick, Gnasher, races around the dial tracking the hours with a stolen sausage from a sky-high mountain of bangers and mash. A lone banana skin serves as the second hand, looping this endless comic-book story around your wrist in vibrant color beneath numerals printed directly onto the glass. This unique fusion of classic watch design and playful storytelling is strictly limited to 750 pieces, with each watch case back uniquely engraved with its specific edition number.

Manutea 40° is a premium pure cane juice rum that celebrates the rich Polynesian terroir through the use of exceptional O'Tahiti sugar cane. Grown in extensive plantations that require manual harvesting, the cane undergoes a single crushing process without any added water to preserve its intense, natural fragrance. The resulting juice is fermented over six to eight days until it reaches a strength of 7°—becoming a liquid known as vesou—before being transported by schooners to the Manutea Tahiti distillery on the island of Moorea. There, the spirit is crafted using a traditional discontinuous still, demanding the utmost precision from the master distiller who meticulously separates the heads and tails to isolate the aromatic heart of the distillate, which features elegant notes of mint, liquorice, and pear. Finally, the rum undergoes a meticulous three-month process of aeration and slow reduction before it is bottled, ensuring the full aromatic palette of the O'Tahiti cane is perfectly preserved.
