       About The Contest

Time and tide waits for no man, or, do you think otherwise?

In celebration of man’s mastery of time and the art of fine watchmaking, we invite you to share with us your point of view. Participate in the TEMPUS – The Temple of Time Photohorology Competition and articulate your vision of time through your lens.

Pick from two categories based on the themes of ‘The Watch’* and ‘Conceptualising Time’. The category of ‘The Watch’* gives you an opportunity to capture the dramatic angles and intricate details of any wristwatch merchandised by The Hour Glass group. Alternatively, tell your own story of time, under the category ‘Conceptualising Time’.

Winners will not only have the opportunity to have their photographs published in the world’s leading watch publication – Revolution, but will also win SINN watches and top of the range Canon cameras.

The nation-wide photohorology competition is open from 15th May till 31st July 2007. Works will be on public display at TEMPUS – The Temple of Time at the Raffles City Convention Centre from 5th – 9th September 2007.
