Foundation
The concept for Clock Forward was conceived by Kirk Fanelly, who has over 2 decades of experience as both a professional painter and online developer & marketer. While building an online business that involved selling QLOCKTWO, Kirk shared the German 'word clock' with senior interior designer and architect friends and was surprised they were unfamiliar with the work. He encountered similar reactions when introducing other makers in this genre. Clock Forward was built from a desire to make these works more accessible to collectors and inspire future creators. We strive to advance wall and desktop timepiece art and appropriately align it with contemporary art vs. novelty.
