The Cost Is Time Canvas Wall Art

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.
