LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

We stand behind our work.

Every single component of this timepiece is original and has been over-engineered for longevity.

If there is ever an issue with The Present, we will either replace it or refurbish it for free, forever.

The warranty does not include the cost of shipping to or from if there is ever an issue.

This offer does not include damage caused by the owner, usually from falling.

Please, please use the included hardware for safe installation.

If it does fall, the movement will likely still be okay, and we can refurbish any damaged part at cost.

If it is dropped in water, it will not work and the warranty is void.

If you throw it in a fire it will most likely melt and the warranty is void.

If you use it as a dinner plate for lasagna night, it will probably still work but gross! Warranty is void.

If you leave it in the microwave for ten minutes it will almost certainly explode; warranty is void.

Realistically the only issues you may have are:

1. It falls

2. The batteries leak.

The leakage rate of L91 Lithium AA batteries is effectively near zero — under 0.01% in independent testing and manufacturer reporting.

So, please, make sure it does not fall and it could theoretically continue to turn until 2316-2361.

I know you think we must be joking. We love to joke! However, according to our math and barring The Present being displayed in an active wood-shop or in an indoor/outdoor back porch with an ocean view; you will never have to change the batteries.

No.

In fact, hours become irrelevant at the scale of the entire year.

After it is assembled by the founder, Scott Thrift, he will set it to The Present moment in the studio. It will arrive to you, already on and in time.

Yes.

The single hand of The Present - Year spans 365.24 days within a 360 degree revolution; meaning the hand moves slightly more than one degree per day.

The single hand lines up vertically at the solstices and horizontally at the equinoxes.

The top is December 21st, not New Year's Eve.

11" diameter (27.94 cm) and it weighs 3.2 lbs. (1 kg)

For drywall, there is a hand-picked anchor and screw complete with an instruction card on how to use both.

The screw has a hand-painted yellow neck indicating the point to which you fasten the screw into the anchor for a perfect fit.

If you are installing on wood, using a sturdy screw or nail.

If you are installing on something else, you probably know what you're doing.

If you don't please let me know.

Do not use picture hangers or contact strips; I guarantee you it will fall, in time.
