Sculptures Of Time

The Hour Glass celebrates 40 years of advancing watch culture with unique takes on time.

Time is a funny thing. We tell it and then we beat it. It’s gone too soon and yet can’t come soon enough. It is precious and yet a waste. It’s now (this time) and yet then (next time). We can’t get enough of it but, sometimes, have too much of it on our hands.

It’s the one measurement that we can’t put a form to but, at a special exhibition celebrating its 40th anniversary, The Hour Glass has come as close as possible to make time something we can observe and marvel at. Then Now Beyond is a curated selection of commissioned objets d’art from four designers, who were selected by a committee comprising of British architect Sir David Adjaye OBE, international watch specialist Aurel Bacs and The Hour Glass’ Group Managing Director Michael Tay.
