Per – a Mutewatch Addict
Per Killiner has promoted Mutewatch to a huge part of his network by now! He accidentally lost his watch on Sunday night and stayed up half the night looking for it. Luckily enough we happened to be on the same flight yesterday morning so he could purchase a new watch.
We love Per and we love the fact that he’s just as addicted as we are!

Space Colonies
In the 1970s a couple of “space colony summer studies” where conducted at NASA Ames. The object was to design human space settlements.
Some colonies where designed to carry as much as 10 000 people. Unfortunately they where never realized.
The renderings are breathtaking.
I enjoy them so much partly because they’re cool and partly because I’m imagining there must have been some intention or at least some aspiration, no matter how little, to make them a reality. It is captured quite nicely in the sterile names of the renderings. For example,”View of Bernal Sphere agricultural module (multiple toroids) with cutaway to expose interior”.
It is difficult not to be exhilarated by such monumental ambitions.
You can see the rest and read fun facts here.

Bec Wonders
The wonderful Bec Wonders just posted some amazing pictures on her blog where she also wrote about how she prefers to use her Mutewatch.
“I thought it was time to paint myself with my Mutewatch since it has really helped me during my process. I try to avoid having phones around when I paint it is perfect to increase my time efficiency without being disturbed by the outside world.”
If you want to see more about her and her amazing paintings – just go to her blog!

Time is an Abstract Concept
The Mutewatch has already reached many places all over the world. Right now we sell our watch in stores in over 20 countries and from our online store to over 40 countries. As Mutewatch continues to grow and expand internationally, we want to meet and learn more and more about different people and their cultures.
Here in Sweden, many believe firmly in the idea that time is related to efficiency and that time is a fixed system that can be measured. However, if you would ask a person from a different culture they would most certainly provide you with a completely different definition of what time is to them. Time is an abstract concept; its definition differs between individuals, wherever you might go in the world.
I think that it’s important to learn about and to respect other cultures and their ideas about what time is, because they’re probably not the same as the ones we have in Sweden. For example in religions such as Hinduism, Jainism or Buddhism, it is assumed that time does not exist. People relate very differently to time (as we do with other things as well) and the important thing is to be aware that there are different viewpoints and that no view is less correct than the other.
If you are interested in reading about different cultures, I warmly recommend the book Alla Dessa Kulturer (in Swedish) written by Karin Sharma, a very wise woman with a Master of Science in Intercultural Communication.
