Χρόνο με τον χρόνο, μέρα με τη μέρα, κάθε ώρα και λεπτό ο κόσμος γύρω μας αλλάζει. Ο χρόνος είναι άπειρος, αλλά ο δικός μας περιορισμένος, με αποτέλεσμα να αισθανόμαστε πως ποτέ δεν υπάρχει αρκετός.
Σκοπός του; Να εμπνεύσει με διάδοση ιδεών διαχρονικών, αλλά και καινοτόμων, μέσα από ένα ταξίδι στο παρελθόν, για να καταλάβουμε το παρόν και να φανταστούμε το μέλλον. Κάθε ένας από εμάς τρέχει τον δικό του αγώνα στον δικό του χρόνο. Σημασία δεν έχει πόσο χρόνο έχεις, αλλά πως τον αξιοποιείς.
