What does it do?

The Present is an aesthetic prompt for inquiring minds.

These thoughtfully crafted focal pieces reframe how we perceive the passage of time, marking natural cycles of the day, the lunar phase, and the year.

Intentionaly designed to inspire reflection on the quality of the moment, it transforms any space into a place where the rhythms of life get the time they deserve.

How does it feel?

The Present awakens a richer experience of time that our customers describe beautifully.

Days feel gracefully recalibrated to a more natural tempo. Moments become imbued with meaning. There is a sense of comfort in the gentle rhythms all around us.

As our timepieces find their place in a home, so does a feeling of perspective and presence.

Why does it matter?

It matters because how we relate to time ripples out to every aspect of our lives.

When we feel aligned with natural cycles, we feel more at ease. When we perceive time as abundant, we act from abundance.

The Present matters because our modern, hurried era leaves little room for reflection, and our devices distance us from nature's rhythms. These clocks gently re calibrate our place within the poetry of motion all around us.

It matters because few objects hold both aesthetic and philosophical purpose so seamlessly.

Placed thoughtfully, these instruments remind us of time's continuity and our own place within its eternal current.

A grounding anchor for intentional living, The Present helps open minded, curious people experience time in a more meaningful, life-affirming way.

How and where is it made?

The Present springs to life through purposeful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and exquisite decade-long attention to detail. 

Every element of The Present is custom-made to stir the imagination and sync your days with natural cadences. We create singular objects that awaken meaning and resonate with the rhythms of life.

Our small studio in Vermont, hums with creative energy as we carefully assemble custom made components into timeless kinetic artworks.
