Signature Universal Watch™
21 Jewel Seiko Automatic Watch, EVR1 handmade band, and the EVR1 Canon disk behind the watch face.
The Signature Universal Watch is 1/5 of the Signature Collection, handmade of full grain leather, suede, a Seiko 21-jewel automatic (self-winding) water resistant watch, a stainless steel buckle, the EVR1 Canon and stainless steel rivets featuring the EVR1 logo (a circle - the watch face - flanked by two colons). There are two Signature Watch Styles, one with black leather, black suede and a black watch face, and one with brown leather, brown suede and a blue watch face.
The logo represents man's relationship to time, excellence and presence (more here on the philosophy of the Signature line and logo). Beneath the watch is a removable & updatable Micro SDHC card that contains humanity's greatest hits, aka the EVR1 Canon, including the entire corpus of Wikipedia, the US Army Survival Guide, the UN's Declaration of Human Rights, the CIA World Factbook, the Eastern and Western literary canons, the world's sacred texts, a robust selection of how-to manuals (languages, math, farming, construction, bee keeping, hunting, fishing, etc.) and licensed essays from leading physicists, philosophers, psychologists and spiritual leaders. The band is 1.5" wide and is offered in two adjustable sizes.
In addition to regular time, meditating on the EVR1 logo or the human achievement in the EVR1 Canon, tells you the time you are experiencing at this moment, irrespective of GMT, the time signature of the material world.
"Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." Groundhog Day
Time and all its derivatives are constructs of the human psyche, and the Signature Universal Watch is simply another, albeit more mystical time construct. Time doesn't exist, except as an explanatory tool. Even this explanatory tool is not a constant. Much like the centimeter and the gram, time is a measurement that changes, as Einstein demonstrated with his famous train-and-platform thought experiment, under the influence of the multitude of other variables within space-time, not the least of which are the four forces (electromagnetic, gravity, strong nuclear and weak nuclear).
"I'm not into time, man." Tommy Chong
As such, the Signature Universal Watch is also a construct of the human psyche, one whose readout is displayed internally (within your head/heart/being/soul). That is, the only way to know your time is to know your being, to unseat your certainty and to concentrate the awareness of this moment, upon the expanse of the cosmos, the connection you have to all points in space-time (here, there, then, now, when).
Like the NASA Voyager's Golden Records, the Signature Universal Watch is a symbolic expression of human excellence and like the Islamic Tasbih, the Hindu Mala Beads, the Christian Rosary, the Tibetan Prayer Wheel and Jewish Mezuzah. It is a meditation, putting your life in a rich, connected context, helping you to choose a life of passion, wonder and integrity.
“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle or you can live as if everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein
Unvalidated Medical Claims
Many DSM maladies and conditions such as anxiety, depression and schizophrenia are thought to be produced by, and produce, a fascination on the external, specifically events that occurred in the past or likely events to transpire in the future. Being here now, is indeed a remedy prescribed by numerous health and psychological professionals (not to mention numerous spiritual traditions and practitioners who point us to only this moment). Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is catching fire within the established medical community as both a preventative practice and prescriptive remedy. Thus, if you suffer from anxiety, depression or more severe conditions, perhaps it is your addiction to GMT, to all the potentialities of the non-existent future and the perceived traumas of the non-existent past. Perhaps you are in need of a Signature Universal Watch to bring you back into being, conscious presence, gratitude and the expanse of the cosmos.
