A New Now
The Present gives you the time you're missing.
Its single hand moves at one year per revolution, revealing the softer, more meaningful side of time hiding in plain sight.
One year.
One revolution.
One new way of seeing.
What is The Present?
The Present is a single-handed timepiece that follows the natural rhythm of the year, revealing the spacious, unfolding nature of time.
What does it do?
It helps you notice and consider a different perspective of time. The Present doesn't limit "now" to a fleeting second; it gives "now" the space to encompass the size of life in 2025 and beyond.
What does that change?
You may come to understand the nature of change from an invaluable, holistic new perspective on duration.

What It Feels Like to Live with The Present
Owners say it brings a quiet sense of peace, connection, and wonder. It changes how you feel about time itself — not by making you work at it, but just by being there.
Most timepieces show now as a fleeting second between the past and the future.
The Present orients us to "now" within the context of the year.

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 all along.
