I work where time, the mind and consciousness meet, and try to make, from each question, something that can be held.

Founder
Its first watch, Rêveries des Secondes, is mechanical and automatic. The seconds hand slows, stops, runs backwards and races, the way a second sometimes seems to; at every minute it is exactly on time. A series of 25.

Director
A private office for experimental studies in four programmes: consciousness as a dimension, fragmentation and integration of the mind, the perception of time, and applied horology. Algorithme du Temps is where its fourth programme becomes an object.

Book · Forthcoming
The New Science of Crossing the Threshold Into Your Full Potential.
Genius, as the book uses the word, means reaching your own full potential, in whatever field or in none, regardless of fame, IQ, or whether anyone else ever notices. Its claim is that there is a real threshold, and that what holds most people below it is the cost of holding themselves in pieces.

03 — About
I grew up in Montreal and studied computer engineering at McGill.
In 2024, in the space of a few weeks, I wrote a paper on the philosophy of time, designed a mechanical complication meant to follow time as it is lived rather than as a clock counts it, and drafted an argument for treating consciousness as a basic feature of reality. None of it wrote itself; each piece took drafting, research and revision, and some of it is still in progress.
The watch became Algorithme du Temps. The papers belong to the Bureau. The weeks themselves became a book.
