Each hourglass is hand blown from one single piece of borosilicate glass filled with an incredible amount of tiny nanoballs each coated in different material (black stainless steel, stainless steel, copper, and yellow gold). In fact, each large hourglass contains 8 million nanoballs to mark the passing of 60 minutes, while the smaller version which marks 10 minutes contains 1.2 million nanoballs.
When the glass is inverted, the nanoballs trickle beautifully from the top bulb down to the bottom bulb.
