While the world moves at an increasingly fast pace, imposing ever higher standards of productivity on those who live it, philosophies are emerging in every corner of the globe that propose lifestyles and production processes characterised by genuine slowness. Timescape is part of this “movement of slowing down”, transforming the instrument that most of all, with its extreme precision, allows us to perceive this frenetic rhythm: the smartwatch, emblem of productivity always on the wrist. Timescape is a series of dials for smartwatches that aim to restore an archaic perception of time, made up of rhythms defined by nature. In ancient times, indeed, it was the interpretation of the slightest changes in the landscape that made it possible to understand the passing of time. Timescape aims to restore this relationship with the territory, with a nostalgic meaning, allowing the user to choose the place from which to take the data that give shape to the representations shown on the small display.
