Fun build from maker Markus Opitzk! The end result is both functional and friendly; a less-stress approach to timekeeping.
To be honest: If you’re not working, you don’t really need an exact time: it’s about afternoon, I’m hungry, I’m tired, it’s time to go to bed. And in the morning, the alarm clock on my mobile phone wakes me up again.
In the meantime, an hourglass would be enough to show the passage of time. Unfortunately, the large hour glasses are hardly available any more.. Only small ones for the kitchen that show maybe 3 or 5 minutes.
That’s why I built an hourglass that takes exactly one hour to run through. The hour time is still displayed as a number in the top glass.
