Magnetic Hourglass Decorative Sand Timer for Desk Decoration

Super cool!

I purchased this for myself to have on my desk at the office.First, this is an eye catcher. I have had colleagues stop at my desk once they see this and it is a great conversation piece.Second, the design is great. The worn copper base gives a vintage look and feel and I feel smarter having it.The magnet is powerful enough the create designs as the filings fall and if you hold it by the glass itself, the base will come with it.Overall, good little piece and worth the price if you are looking to add some flavor to your environment.

My husband saw one of these in a store a few months ago and instantly fell in love with it. I bought this for him as a Christmas gift and was incredibly impressed by the quality of it!I read several other reviewers who said it is made of thin glass and I would have to agree. Definitely not a children's toy but perfect for a unique adult/teen gift! It lasts about 10-15 seconds and is really fun to watch or make cool patterns with. Very cool timer, would definitely recommend for any science nerd!! :)

I had another one like this that was much better. It had a thin foam pad around the magnet on the bottom to protect the glass. This one has no such thing, just bare metal. Also one side is slightly lopsided on the bottom, which you can't see but it makes the hourglass a little off center on the base. The other side is good though. The magnet dust would make better shapes if it wasn't so fine

I wish the sand dripped a little slower but it's still really really cool. Its a 30 second timer.

Looks nice, smaller than I pictured, but to no fault of the seller. I do wish the sand timer lasted a bit longer - it seems to run a little less than a minute. However, given the small size, there's not much that can be done there. It does feel kind of flimsy, as if it may break if I don't set the hourglass down on the magnetic base softly enough.

I am a big fan of hourglasses, and thought this would be a fun one to have (I also figured my nieces would get a kick out of it)This is a beautiful hourglass, and has a really nice-looking and heavy base. The designs are fun, no two are the same, and it changes constantly while the "sand" (finely-ground metal) pours on to it. It makes you want to just stare at it while it pours. I like the fact that the "sand" is black, the hourglass it is next to in my living room is also glass.The *only* thing I would change about it is to make it bigger, it is a pretty small hourglass (the dimensions are right at the beginning of the description, so I knew how big it was already and wasn't dissapointed). However it is a great hourglass for the price, I doubt you could even get the stand for this price elsewhere.

This was a gift and I was happy with the careful packaging. It’s exactly what we were looking for.

Glass is blemish free. Decent size

I bought this for a young female Engineer as a Birthday gift. She and her Dad love it. I haven't seen it in action yet.

Pas celui de la photo, la base est différente de la photo

Très fragile.
