Product Details

The Cost Is Time is money wall art with a watch at its center. A gold day-date watch on a matching gold bracelet rests on dark green velvet, lit from one side so the fluted bezel and champagne dial catch the light. Above it, in clean white serif type, sits the line: "The Price is Money. The Cost is Time." It is a reminder that the price tag is the easy part and the hours are what you really spend.

About the design

The photograph is dark and quiet, with the velvet fading to near black at the edges and the watch glowing warm at the bottom of the frame. The type is set in three short lines with plenty of air around it, so the quote reads first and the watch second. The portrait format fills a narrow wall or sits beside a desk, and it stands on its own or in a gallery set with other watch and money art.

Where it works

The Cost Is Time suits a home office, study, or bedroom, and it fits a dressing room or walk-in closet where a watch collection lives. It speaks to collectors, founders, and anyone who has learned to count time before money, and it makes a considered gift for a promotion, a milestone, or a first serious watch.

Part of the Money collection

The Cost Is Time is part of our money wall art collection, alongside dollar bills, gold and coin designs that turn wealth into wall art. It also sits in our watch wall art collection for rooms built around a good timepiece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Email support@seembols.com - we typically respond within a few hours.

You have 30 days from delivery to send a piece back. The full purchase amount is refunded once it reaches us.

Shipping is free to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Switzerland and Norway. Cyprus and Malta are the two exceptions. We ship everywhere else as well, at a rate calculated by destination at checkout.

Nothing is held in stock, so each piece is printed and stretched after you order it. That takes 3 to 6 business days, followed by 3 to 5 business days in transit to the US, Canada, the UK and the EU, or 4 to 7 elsewhere. Most orders arrive within 10 days.

Each canvas is gallery wrapped over its frame, and the hanging hardware is fitted to the back before it ships. There is no framing or assembly to do. A floating frame is available if you would prefer one.

The canvas is organic cotton, and the inks are archival and GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions. A piece can hang in a bedroom or a child's room without concern.

Dust it with a dry cloth when it needs it, and keep water and cleaning products away from the surface. Direct sunlight fades any print over the years, so a wall out of hard sun is best. If the canvas ever loosens, the corner wedges can be tapped to draw it tight again.
