Designed and crafted by Youtuber B.B.Korry, this hourglass (actually only a 30-second timer) reimagines the classic analog design with a digital upgrade, using magnetic iron filings to count down the seconds as they’re ever so briefly attracted to a digital display before dropping. That’s cool, now make one with enough iron filings to actually count down a full hour. I mean what can a person even do in 30 seconds? “Well–” Don’t you dare, honey!




Thanks again to my dad, who’s on vacation in the Mediterranean right now and still manages to send tips, which is a lot more than I can say for you.
