Each clock in this collection is a 10″ wall clock, made to order in the United States. Printed on a smooth, high-quality acrylic face and set within a natural, black, or white wooden frame, every design is powered by a silent, continuous-sweep quartz movement—no ticking, just quiet precision.
Choose words you want to live with, then open the customizer to set the background, text colour, frame, and hands.
Each clock is $44 with free US shipping included, and usually arrives within 5–7 business days.

Breathe and allow things to pass
“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with magic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.”
There is nothing but this moment
“Live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find eternity in each moment.”
Be a light unto yourself

Do not dwell in the past do not dream of the future
