The increasingly amount of time that consumers are spending in front of screens each day is pushing many to seek out analog ways to relax and unwind, which is something the 'Tempo' hourglass looks to help enable.
The timer features an adjustable design that can be set for five, 15 or 25 minutes to let users unwind for a short while during their workday or when they're in need of a little alone time at any point. The stylish, analog design of the hourglass acknowledges an interest in retro aesthetics as consumers become somewhat complacent to advanced technology and need a way to disconnect, if only briefly.
The 'Tempo' hourglass is crafted from thick, hand-blown Borosilicate glass to ensure it can offer years of use.
