Product Overview
Discover the magic of the Magnetic Hourglass, a fusion of art, science, and functionality. Unlike traditional hourglasses, this 16cm hand-blown glass timepiece uses iron filings that form stunning, spiky sculptures as they fall, guided by a hidden magnet in the base. Perfect for desks, shelves, or tables, it adds a captivating visual element to any space while inviting mindfulness and creativity.
Whether used as a functional timer, a decorative accent, or a meditative tool, the magnetic hourglass blends form and function in a stylish package. Its hypnotic motion makes it ideal for home offices, living rooms, studios, or classrooms, creating an engaging focal point that sparks conversation and curiosity.
How It Works: Science Meets Art
The magnetic hourglass transforms the simple principle of gravity into a kinetic display of art. Fine iron filings replace sand, forming dramatic, ever-changing shapes as they descend through the glass chamber. The magnetic base interacts with the filings, creating spiky towers and abstract patterns unique to each flip. This combination of magnetism and motion makes the hourglass both an educational tool and a stunning decorative piece.
Hand-Blown Craftsmanship
Each hourglass is meticulously hand-blown by skilled artisans, ensuring every piece is unique. The smooth curves of the glass, precise neck, and perfectly calibrated filings create a flawless visual effect. The weighted magnetic base offers stability while complementing the elegant design with premium materials such as wood, steel, or brushed aluminum. Small variations in filing patterns guarantee that each experience is one-of-a-kind, making it a meaningful gift for friends, family, or colleagues.
Versatile Décor & Mindful Use
The magnetic hourglass is more than a timer—it’s an experience. Its kinetic motion enhances any interior, whether modern, rustic, or eclectic.

It doubles as a mindful tool: flip the hourglass during meditation, journaling, or short work sprints to bring focus and calm without digital distractions.
Durable, Portable, and Functional
Despite its delicate appearance, the hourglass is built for everyday use. Its 16cm size is compact yet impressive, while the thick hand-blown glass resists breakage. The magnetic base is sealed for longevity, and no batteries or maintenance are required. Perfect for offices, classrooms, kitchens, or therapy spaces, it’s an eco-friendly, low-tech alternative to digital timers.
