The minute your child arrived.
The hospital wrote the time down to the minute. Claim it in her name and it stays hers — one owner, no duplicates, no expiry.

You are buying a permanent entry in a public registry: one UTC minute recorded in her name, with a dedication, your message and a first photograph. Not the moment itself — that is not for sale, and our terms say so.
The minute of birth
Straight off the certificate or the hospital wristband.
The minute you found out
The test, the call from the clinic, the morning everything changed.
The first ultrasound
Scan images are printed with a time.
The minute you came home
The first day as three, fixed to one minute.
- A public page at buythetime.co with their name on one exact minute.
- A dedication line — “For Anna” — written above the record.
- A title, a message, a photo, a video or a voice recording attached to the minute.
- One owner per minute. Once it is claimed, nobody else can take it.
- You can edit the page later; every change is kept in a history.

- What is a good push present?
- Something tied to the birth itself rather than to jewellery. Claiming the exact minute your child was born gives her a permanent public record in her own name, with your message and the first photograph attached.
- Can the record be in the baby's name instead?
- Yes. The dedication line and the title are free text, so the minute can be recorded for the mother, the child, or both.
- The birth time is local — how do I convert it?
- The registry runs on UTC and we show your local time next to the minute while you pick it, so you can check before paying.
- Can I add photos later?
- Yes. Sign in with the email used at checkout and add or replace the photo, the message and the link any time.
