Kindred

Bringing distant families closer

The Kindred Clock keeps your family’s two time zones — and glows when it’s time to call them.

The distance

Twelve and a half hours apart.
One small question, every day.

It’s 11am here. Midnight there.

“I want to call Grandpa.”

Not now, sweetheart. He’s asleep.

She’s six. She can’t do timezone math.
All she learns is that the answer is usually no.

One day she’ll stop asking.

Your local time

Main dial shows your current time.

Their time

Subdial shows the time in another time zone.

Two time zones.
One beautiful clock.

The main dial shows your local time, and the small dial shows theirs. Both households, one glance. No math.

Reminders

A gentle glow
that reminds
you to connect.

A cue to call.

Set the hours that work for both homes. The ring glows during that window.

A subtle reminder of what matters.

The glow helps you stay connected, even when you’re apart.

“My kids’ grandparents live twelve and a half hours away, and ‘call Grandpa’ kept losing to timezone math. I’m building Kindred for them. If your family lives across time zones too, Kindred is for you.”

— Rajat

Before the clock, there were books

I’m Rajat. I am a software engineer by trade, but I am a maker by heart. Before I started building a clock for families like mine, I spent a decade making children’s books with the same intent — helping families talk about the things that matter.

Three of them made it into the world:

  • ZardoZi, Stitched With Love
    A children’s book from Boyish, my publication rethinking masculinity. It was named the Best Comic Graphic Novel by FICCI India in 2025.
  • She Can You Can
    An alphabet book of 26 iconic Indian women who broke the glass ceiling, published by HarperCollins Children’s Books, India.
  • Menstrupedia Comic
    A comic book that teaches girls about periods without shame. Till date, the book has educated more than a million girls in 20+ countries.

Each book was a carefully made, physical thing that helped families begin a difficult conversation and connect with each other. With the Kindred Clock, I once again want to help families connect with each other, even when they are far apart.

The Kindred Clock doesn’t want your attention.
It wants you to call the people you love.

  • The brass-rimmed second time-zone sub-dial set into the cream face, below the main hands

    Their time,
    beside yours.

    The smaller dial keeps their local time in view.

  • The warm light ring glowing along the inner edge of the walnut bezel

    A gentle glow.
    A cue to connect.

    The light ring makes your shared calling window visible.

  • The Kindred clock on a wall beside a window, seen at an angle in afternoon light

    A clock for
    moments that matter.

    Keeping track of time together.
