STUND does not tell time. It’s a mindfulness timepiece that moves you closer to the present moment

Story

 

 

 

 

Time flows in a constant rhythm. But we perceive the length of each beat subjectively.

 

 

 

STUND is Danish by heart. All STUND timepieces are assembled by hand in Copenhagen, Denmark.  

 

Size, weight and battery:

41mm in diameter. Only 7 mm tall. Weighing just around 50 grams with genuine leather strap. We wanted STUND to feel light on your wrist and sturdy as a quality timepiece.
 

 

– Made from one solid block of stainless steel: 

STUND’s chassis is machined from one solid block of high-grade Stainless steel 316, cut with high geometric tolerances to give you the perfect weight-ratio to wear around your wrist – it’s not too light nor too heavy, it’s perfect. 
 

Additionally, we machine from one block to lead and amplify the vibrations through the chassis and into your wrist.
 

 

All components are polished by hand to provide a mirror-like reflection. Our high-grade Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and has a protective coating which prevents scratching. You can carefree wear STUND throughout your day.

 

And STUND is crafted to last:

Researchers have proven that practising present-moment awareness through mindfulness positively affects the ACC (anterior cingulate cortex in the brain, which is associated with self-regulation) and the hippocampus responsible for emotion and memory. Further practising slowing down through mindfulness and present-moment awareness will affect brain areas related to perception, body awareness, pain tolerance, emotion regulation, introspection, complex thinking, and sense of self.

 

“.. Recent research provides strong evidence that practising non-judgmental, present-moment awareness (a.k.a. mindfulness) changes the brain, and it does so in ways that anyone working in today’s complex business environment, and certainly every leader, should know about.”

Research conducted at Pepperdine University examined over 4,000 scientific papers about mindfulness and its effect on the workspace, and it suggests that present-moment awareness through mindfulness positively impacts human functioning, helps improve the quality of attention, impacts internal quality and the interpersonal behaviour and improves a greater empathy and compassion for others.

The study suggests that:

  • Mindfulness positively impacts human functioning.
  • Mindfulness can help improve the quality of attention.
  • Mindfulness, even though it is an internal quality, can impact interpersonal behaviour.
  • Mindfulness can help provide greater empathy and compassion.”
