A 30-minute analog timer for the desk. The sand moves through mouth-blown glass by Gry Mattr — no battery, no screen, no notification. Just a visible measure of time passing, which turns out to be more useful than most digital alternatives. Flip it at the start of a work sprint and the desk acquires a different quality of focus.

Available in two colors, Yves Klein Blue shown here, and Black.

Robert ★★★★★

The sand flows so smoothly through that mouth-blown glass that I keep catching myself staring instead of working. Thirty minutes feels like a real block of time now, not just a number on a screen. It's oddly calming to watch the last grains drop and know I actually focused that whole stretch.

David ★★★★★

I've had it on my desk for two weeks and I still catch myself staring at it during calls. The hand-blown glass has tiny imperfections that catch the light in a way that makes the 30 minutes feel almost meditative, and not having a single notification pop up is honestly a relief.

Eva W. ★★★★★

The blue tint of the glass catches the light in a way that makes the falling sand look almost liquid. It’s strange how calming it is to watch those thirty minutes drain away without a single ping or buzz to interrupt.
