THE ORBIT OF NOW

The Orbit of Now — One-of-a-Kind Upcycled NOW Watch

This watch is a truly unique piece! It features an intricate, sculptural silver-toned metal beaded wristband with an almost celestial, planetary appearance. The watch face measures approximately 1¾ inches across and features beautiful mother-of-pearl letters spelling the word NOW against a hand-painted interior in shades of light teal and purple.

The metal beaded wristband will fit wrists from approximately 5½ to 7 inches. There are a few removable points that allow you to adjust the size, but as currently configured, it would probably be best suited for somebody with a wrist around 6½ inches.

I've never come across anything quite like this in my upcycling watch career, and I am so excited for this one to find its new home. It is definitely one of a kind!

Like all NOW Watches, this piece doesn't tell you what time it is. Instead, it serves as a gentle reminder that the only moment we ever truly have is the one we're living right now.

A little reminder from The Orbit of Now:

"The entire cosmos is unfolding, and somehow, wonderfully, you are here to witness it."

One of a kind. Upcycled with love. Made to remind you to be here, NOW.

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

The Backstory

Every single POM Pizza Watch is an entirely one-of-a-kind piece... no two are exactly alike! All are made from upcycled watches that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

A few months ago, I was looking for a watch that my husband had given me. I found it, but the battery was dead, so he took it apart to replace the battery. In a 'lucky' happenstance, he accidentally broke the watch while he was attempting to replace the battery... and the watch sat, disassembled, on our kitchen table for a few weeks. 

One day, we were staring at it, and I said, "What should we do with that watch?" 

Aaron, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "You should just write the word NOW on it." 

Instantly, an idea was born. I had worked with acrylic as a very curious child, and so I decided that I could salvage unusable watches and upcycle them into 'NOW watches'.

Please keep in mind as you wear this piece of art that while the 'watch' itself does not have any functioning time-keeping abilities... it is the most accurate watch that you will EVER wear, because it always has the correct time... because it's only ever right NOW. 

I hope that as you look at your NOW watch, that it will remind you to take a few deep breaths and to come into the present moment. 

Every single NOW watch is handmade by me and my husband Aaron using upcycled watches that would have otherwise ended up in landfills. Each watch is completely unique and different and there are sometimes tiny air bubbles in the acrylic or slight imperfections on the glass or the surface of the watch.
