Foundation
Established in 2019, the concept for Clock Forward was conceived by Kirk Fanelly, who has more than two decades of experience as a professional painter, online business developer and marketer. After quickly shifting from engineering in college, he studied painting at Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design, sparking his keen, ongoing interest in technological innovation and art-making traditions. Kirk became passionate about a concept of showcasing innovative, well-designed clocks after helping promote QLOCKTWO in the US. Built from a desire to make its creators’ works more accessible to collectors and inspire future creators, Clock Forward is part of a resurgent interest in timepieces and mechanical objects, striving to advance wall and table top time-related art and appropriately aligning it with contemporary art and architecture environments.
