Years ago, my son Eli and I decided to build an art project underwater in the river. We started with the biggest rock around for hundreds of yards and built a pool around that. Then we began moving the wall of the pool out into the river in search of the late afternoon sun.

Ultimately, we ended up with a chronograph. There’s a rock for every hour. Here’s how that ends up looking.
