WANT: The Magnetic Hourglass

The magnetic hourglass is a beautiful and mesmerizing timepiece for your desk!

Step away from the chaos for less than a minute with this mesmerizing twist on the hourglass. Filled with iron filings instead of sand, the Magnetic Hourglass has a rare earth magnet in its base which inexorably draws the filings toward it. They create formations almost like stalagmites, a kinetic sculptural performance you can enjoy for hours – 30 seconds at a time.

If you are in the U.S., please note that you can still get this in time for Christmas if you order by Saturday at midnight with standard shipping! For the rest of the world, be sure to use express shipping!
