The Hour Glass is proud to be an Executive Producer on Keeper of Time. The first feature documentary by Michael Culyba explores the world of mechanical watchmaking through the stories of four of the best independent watchmakers in the world: Philippe Dufour, Roger W. Smith, Francois-Paul Journe, and Maxmilian Büsser.
A Project Backed by Enthusiasts
A seasoned documentary editor based in New York, Keeper of Time marks Michael Culyba’s directorial debut. This passion project was funded through Kickstarter, raising $115,000 in seven weeks.
“Keeper of Time is my first feature film, and I went into the process knowing I wanted to produce it independently – everything from conception, fundraising, production, and editing to the release and exhibition – to maintain creative control. In this approach, the independent watchmakers in the film were a huge inspiration for me, and every time I encountered a hurdle, I thought of Roger Smith making a watch completely from scratch over the course of five years just to get an apprenticeship with George Daniels. ” Michael Culyba, Director and Producer.
Simultaneous Global Release
Taking an unconventional yet appropriate approach for the current times, anyone interested can watch the film in the comfort of their own homes. Online sale of tickets for Keeper of Time will commence 7th April, 2022, and the film will be available to stream from 29th April 2022.
“A film like Keeper of Time has such a passionate and niche audience at its core, and I am excited to use the latest technology to exhibit and publicize the film in a timely manner that premieres the film across the globe, making it readily available for the people who want to see it the most.” Michael Culyba, Director and Producer.
