Time as Chaos is a sculptural watch with several independent dials held in one fluid body. I wanted to explore the difference between the time a clock measures and the way we experience it.

Context

An hour can feel short or endless depending on what we are doing. I wanted to give that familiar feeling a physical form, using several dials instead of a single clock face.

Approach

I let the dials determine the shape. Each has its own face and hands, nested inside a sculpted body that holds them close together without making them line up.

Outcome

The result sits between a watch and a sculpture. The overlapping dials make it difficult to read time at a glance, inviting a closer look at the object and the idea behind it.
