Project Detail

Making Time

Synopsis

We are in a time revolution right now. We break time down into smaller fragments, so we can get more out of each minute, more lifespan, more speed. And yet, we are fractured , out of sync with nature. We have sacrificed significance for speed. More and more of us want to slow down, take stock, savour life, but are swept along in the world’s frantic pace.
How do we step out of this? How do we find meaning in our finite lives?
MAKING TIME is about how we experience time, told through the lens of five horologists, whose creations measure time in sure and steady beats. Their stories reveal something about how to live and how to use our time well. They tell what it means to search deep to find your purpose and follow your dream. And they speak to us about alchemy. Alchemy in the transformation of dull raw materials into valuable golden objects certainly, but deeper still, in the transformation of experience - sorrow, loss, love - into art. The pulse of the timepieces they create synchronises with the pulse running through all of life.
