What time is it? "It's now," of course.

The "It's now" watches have been an auction standard and favorite for many years but we're down to the remaining three, two of which appear in this auction and one that we're saving for next year. If you've ever thought of owning one, "now" is indeed the time.

The Thich Nhat Hanh-inspired watch tells you which o'clock it is while reminding you that the time is now for mindfulness. "It's now!", say the calligraphed characters. This watch will help you return to the present no matter what time it is.

Blue Cliff Monastery, set in the lush green Hudson Valley of New York, was established in May 2007 and is an extension of Plum Village meditation center in France, founded by the Venerable teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. Like the root monastery Plum Village and sister monastery Deer Park (Escondido, California), Blue Cliff welcomes anyone who wishes to learn and cultivate the art and practices of engaged Buddhism through mindful living.
