What it does

The Present is the original annual wall clock. One hand completes one revolution per year. 10,000+ shipped to 50 countries since 2012. Made in Vermont by Scott Thrift.

"A better understanding of what is important, and what is not." When the larger scale of the year is visible, urgency stops flattening everything into the same moment.

Brushed stainless-steel rims capture the glass lens, the print, the hand, and solid-cork body together in a precision-engineered pressure fit. Our print is the result of years of tests to achieve a seamless gradient blend. The ink is reverse-printed and UV-cured by Duggal Visual Solutions in NYC.
