A New Now
Most clocks count seconds. The Present reveals seasons. It shifts your sense of scale so you can see yourself as part of time, not in a race against it.
Living with The Present
A slower pace. A steadier rhythm. A quiet appreciation for time as it is.
Conventional clocks help us understand what time it is.
The Present helps us understand what time is.
Its single hand reveals a slower, more spacious kind of now hiding beneath the rush. It offers a broader, more generous way to see the moment.

About
I wanted to see time differently.
Seconds, minutes, and hours are useful, but they leave something out. The natural world has its own rhythms but we can only catch fragments of it, never the whole picture.
So I made The Present.
Since 2012, thousands have welcomed it into their homes to reveal the time they've been missing.
