In Gift of Time, movement is tied to blockchain time. Everything starts from a fixed epoch, a specific moment chosen as the origin point from which all movement is measured: June 4, 2025, 4:52 PM, the moment I arrived in Marfa.
The latest ETH block timestamp, the moment the newest Ethereum block is created, becomes the present reference.
When you load one of the 365 pieces, you don’t begin the motion; you step into a clock that has already been running since that day.
The movement didn’t begin when you opened it, and it won’t stop when you close it. It will keep moving forever.
Seasonal tempo:
The hands don’t tick at one speed all year. They breathe with the seasons, speed up at the solstices and equinoxes, and ease back to their regular tempo in between. 🕙
Gift of Time #5
New moon: the nested colored circles (moon complications) are now at their most contracted state.
At this phase, all three nested colors become fully visible inside each circle. From here, they slowly begin opening again like pupils as we move toward the next full moon, when the central color becomes the dominant visible one.
