Noor Zahavi is a paradox in motion—equal parts stillness and spark. With her Israeli-Egyptian heritage, background in horology (the study of time), and an affinity for rare fragrances and antique bookstores, Noor doesn’t rush or chase. She arrives fully, listens deeply, and leaves an imprint that feels eternal. Clients don’t just spend time with her—they feel it in layers.

And on one enigmatic night in Vancouver, Noor gave a client something he didn’t realize he craved:
a beautifully designed evening where time wasn’t kept—it was rewritten.

The Booking: “I Want to Forget the Clock Exists.”

The client was a New York-based neuroscience professor, in Vancouver for a symposium. His message came late at night:

“Lately, time feels like a treadmill—constant motion, no direction. I want to remember what one unmeasured hour feels like.”

Noor replied with elegant precision:
“Then tonight, we don’t measure. We experience.”

The Experience: The Horologist’s Date

Noor curated a secret experience at The Observatory, a private Vancouver loft filled with vintage clocks and celestial maps—rented only by collectors and scholars. When the client arrived, the space was already transformed.

Every clock was intentionally stopped at a different time.
Noor met him wearing a midnight-blue gown and a golden antique pocket watch on a chain that didn’t tick.

She offered him a choice:
– Wind a clock and start the evening on his terms
– Or let her lead and never look at the time again

He smiled and handed her the key.
“Your time, your tempo.”

The Unfolding

They began with a slow walk through the loft, each corner curated with sensory experiences: a record player spinning Persian jazz, a decanter of aged Armagnac, a bowl of rosewater-drenched figs.

At the centerpiece: an hourglass filled with stardust-like sand—a handcrafted art piece Noor called “The Illusion of Urgency.”

They talked about memory, old cities, the smell of rain in Jerusalem, and how certain moments become elastic when shared with the right person.

The Moment That Froze Everything

As they reclined on velvet cushions near the gallery’s skylight, a meteor streaked quietly across the dark Vancouver sky.

He looked at her and whispered:
“This is the first hour I’ve truly felt in years.”

Noor didn’t reply. She simply reached over, turned the hourglass upside down, and let the grains fall again—without a word.

The Farewell

Before he left, she handed him a small, sealed envelope with her signature wax seal.

Inside: a photo of the stopped clock he had stood under all night, marked 9:47 PM.

On the back, she had written:

“If this hour mattered—
don’t restart it.
Remember it.”
