Overview

Oscilloglass Timers

This gorgeous mechanical hourglass features intricate clockwork that is activated by gravity. The cog and gear array sealed inside the glass cylinder falls to the bottom of the glass in exactly 3 or 5 minutes (depending on the size of the Oscilloglass). The speed of the descent is controlled by the same principle as a fine Swiss watch.

The passage of time is not only visual but auditory and tactile as well. You can hear and feel the ticking of the clockwork as it clicks downward. At the bottom of the glass, the time is up and the mechanism falls silent. The glass enclosure allows for a 360 degree view of the ingeniously simple movements of the machine.

An elegant and minimalist object that inspires focus and concentration. Work, meditate, or simply admire the Oscilloglass as it ticks its way through time. Then pick it up and flip it over to feel the intricate ticking rhythm that some say resembles the soft heartbeats of a tiny living creature.

There are two sizes of Oscciloglass: a tall "5 minutes" version and a short "3 minutes" version. Just like an hourglass, you can enjoy the passage of time according to your needs.
