IDEA #1: THE GAULTIER MOMENT

 

At Gaultier, needles aren't just used for sewing, they're also used on cans so that you can control the passage of time. And if there's one thing that never gets old, it's upcycling! Transform your can into a timeless clock and set yourself on Gaultier time.

You can’t roll back the years, but you can roll up your sleeves and follow Jean Paul Gaultier's lead. You’ll need:
- your JPG can
- a drill
- bolts
- a clock mechanism
- neoprene adhesive

Stop chasing time, take time.
