Take Your Time to Tick

Living in a hectic society like Singapore, it is easy to lose yourself amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. With the daily drone of mundane work life and an incessant load of responsibilities and obligations to fulfil, it is of little wonder that time flies by without you knowing it. Sure, being busy is a good sign. But being overly busy to the extent that you forget about your dates with your loved ones, or how you should laugh or cry over a movie or novel – that really is a modern sin, isn’t it?

We can always pin the blame on our fast-paced society. But ultimately, your future lies in your own hands. To the city dweller who would acknowledge time’s importance, to seize each day is to live in the present and appreciate every hour, every minute and every second that passes us by.

Take a look at this Past, Present and Future watch designed by Daniel Will-Harris. Have you ever seen time tick by this way? Have you ever stopped to ruminate on what the hour, minute and second hands of your clock really signify? As you stare in quiet awe of this elegant yet sophisticated watch, do you care where time has gone? What other watch designs can be louder than this to remind us why we should acknowledge the past, to cherish the present and to look forward to the future?

Ultimately, we all have 24 hours a day. At least, time proves to be a fair treatment for all. Whether or not you look at it as part and parcel of your daily lives, there is no denial that the ticking is what keeps you going. So get going, warrior.
