Family Clock
FrançaisPut my clock together

A clock where each of us has our own time.

In oak, for the wall, with one display per person. Each person’s time follows them when they travel. Designed and assembled in France.

Give it a turn

Léa is coming home for Christmas.

On 20 December, Léa lands in Paris. Her display switches by itself from Montréal time to Paris time. In Lyon, her parents see it as they walk past: she’s home. On 4 January she flies back, and her display follows her.

Montréal 15:40

Paris 21:40

Léa Montréal, it is 15:40, in the daytime

Our family lives all over the world.

At my parents' home.

For Christmas 2024, I built a clock for my parents with my own hands, with one display for each of us. The whole family helped: glued on the table, the windows filed one by one, sanded in the garage.

Since then, it has kept us together. My parents can tell at a glance where each of us is in our day. And when we all come home for the holidays, the clock shows the same time everywhere: that’s when we feel closest.

Now we want to share it with the world.

The first clock in the evening: all seven displays show 21:28.

The evening everyone was home: the same time everywhere.

The clock knows a time zone. Nothing else.

The only thing sent

Léa’s display

Never your location
The phone sends only the name of its time zone, for example Europe/Paris. Not where you are, not your trips.
No history
We keep each person’s current time zone, that’s all. Older ones are erased after 30 days.
In Europe, under the GDPR
The data stays in the European Union. Nothing is sold, no advertising.
Erase everything
From the app, or with a long press on the clock’s button. You can also write to us.

Your questions

My parents don’t have a smartphone. Does it still work?

Yes. A smartphone is needed once, to set it up: yours, when you’re at their place. After that, they have nothing to do.

How does it know everyone’s time?

People who travel install the free app. When they change time zone, their phone sends it, and their display follows. For everyone else, you simply pick a city. Never a location, never a trip.

Is there a subscription?

No. The app is free, with no subscription and no ads.

How big is it?

About 60 cm tall and 20 cm wide, with digits 3 cm tall. The exact dimensions are set with the first prototype.

What does it need?

A socket near the wall (the USB-C charger is included) and the home Wi-Fi. After a power cut, it reconnects by itself and never shows a wrong time.

When will it be delivered?

In early 2027, in France. If the campaign doesn’t reach its goal, nobody is charged.
