Some objects are defined by the function they provide. A phone wouldn’t be a phone if you can’t communicate using it, and a watch or a clock makes no sense if it doesn’t tell the time. While these products provide important functionality, but they can also be detrimental to one’s mental health when they become sources of distraction and stress. It might sound odd how a watch can actually be harmful, but our obsession with time and busyness ironically makes us less appreciative of this critical finite resource. This simple yet attractive timepiece tries to rewire your brain by making you feel time rather than see it, teaching you to be mindful of the present moment rather than fretting over every second or minute that passes by.

People today are obsessed with time, running from one schedule to the next, yet ironically seem to lose time anyway. More often than not, the problem isn’t just about time management but actually being aware and mindful of your time, particularly the present time. As if regular watches weren’t enough to make you always conscious of the time, smartwatches bring even more ways to distract you or feed into your time obsession. The STUND timepiece is a counter-movement to this time-focused productivity trend, reminding us that it isn’t about being on time but about being in time, and it does that by removing everything that tells you the current time.
Calling the STUND a watch might be a bit of a misnomer in that sense, but it still keeps track of time in a completely different way. At fixed intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, depending on your preference, STUND will send gentle pulses to your wrist, calling your attention back to the present. When repeated enough times, you start to develop your “mindfulness muscles” so that you become more aware of where you’ve been spending the last minutes or hours, whether it’s mindlessly scrolling on your phone or actually getting important things done.
You might think it odd to wear a timepiece that doesn’t tell the time, but the STUND is fortunately something you’d be proud to put on your wrist. Machined from a single block of high-grade 316 stainless steel, the timepiece is designed to not only last the test of time (no pun intended) but to also lead and amplify the vibrations from the chassis to your wrist, creating a comfortable nudge when it comes time to immerse yourself in the present moment again. The leather straps, be they genuine or vegan, perfectly complement the hand-polished mirror finish of the “watch,” making the STUND a stunning example of Danish craftsmanship.
Whether you’re drowning from the busyness of life or feel like you’re always losing track of time, you’ll need a better strategy to not only survive but also reclaim your life. You don’t really need volumes of self-help books or expensive subscriptions to meditation services when all you need is to remember to stand in the present, fully mindful and aware of this one particular point in time. The STUND timepiece brings a simple yet effective tool to develop that mindfulness muscle, while also putting an elegant and stylish accessory on your wrist so you won’t miss your stress-inducing watch at all.
