Why Us
We are a North Carolina based specialty site showcasing clocks from around the world that embrace 'The Art of Time.' We are similar to a traditional art gallery in that you primarily will work with the owner, who in turn works directly with the creators to provide customers with expert service & support throughout your life with the clock.

Foundation
The concept for Clock Forward was conceived by Kirk Fanelly, with 20 years of online marketing & web design experience, while building & managing an online business that involved promoting QLOCKTWO. He shared the German 'word clock' with interior designer and architect friends and was surprised senior design contemporaries were unfamiliar with the brand. He found similar results when introducing other clock manufacturers. Clock Forward was conceived from a necessity for better marketing efforts to introduce these works to the art & design community and the need for more clocks that tell time in unconventional ways. Clock Forward strives to advance this genre of important work and appropriately align it with contemporary art instead of novelty.
To us, luxury means exemplary customer support. When you contact Clock Forward, you will deal directly with the owner, Kirk. He is also an accomplished painter with similarly 20 years of experience in fine art, and studies at Brown, RISD and Yale. His work is found in collections across the world. Kirk brings professional and personal connections with art & design and gallery communities—with an emphasis on the Southeast U.S. His art can be found at kirkfanelly.art »
