Fusing the clean lines that characterize modernity with ancient shapes and timeless symbols, Thomas Mann creates a timepiece like no other.

The clock face depicts the passage of time in the terms of love: Time Passes, Love Waits, Time Passes, Love Lives, etc. Intricate pendants, works of art in and of themselves, top each finger.

Q MAN MAGNET SETS When these little guys showed up at our office we couldn't stop playing with them. Everyone who passed the Q Man Magnets stuck to the metal photo studio door just had to re-arrange them in new and interesting positions, creating a miniature game of Twister that lasted for weeks. The rubber Q Men have magnets in place of hands and feet, allowing them to stick to metal surfaces and to each other with ease. Although a wonderful toy by themselves, the Q Man Magnets will also hold your papers up to a metal surface securely. Sold as sets of three - black, white, and clear or red, orange, and green.
