This time of the year the topic of time seems to come up.  January 1 is a time of new beginnings, resolutions, and a new year.  Time is something that has been measured with many things including grains of sand, shadows, and hands on a clock.

Scott Thrift and the creative company “m ss ng p eces” set out to make a clock that measures time in a new way, in the form of a dedicated annual clock.  The clock makes a revolution each day, and changes color as it moves.  With one hand – it tells the story of time in seasons instead of seconds.  The clock looks like a color selection from a design program, the full color spectrum in the form of a circle.

ThePresent uses gradients of pure color to mark the Equinoxes & Solstices throughout the year. It uses special German-engineered annual movement that holds the “memory” of where the Annual Hand should be on any given day of the year.

The maker says that the clock, called ThePresent will have a powerful effect on how you can experience time.  Check out the video and read more on thepresent.is.  Since I read about the clock, it has had me thinking about what color today would be.  Maybe a light blue?
