“You could never catch time. Sometimes it goes quickly, sometimes it goes slowly. So do the bubbles in this awaglass.”
“Awaglass invites you to watch time pass in translucent form.”
Why we love this product/
It is not run by sand, but in bubbles instead. Therefore, instead of going down, as the time goes by the bubbles are actually going in an upward direction. You can see various kinds of bubbles floating, such as big one, small one, slow one, continuous ones, etc.
This is not a tool to measure time but to enjoy time. Awaglass could not measure time, as bubbles are much more ambiguous than sand . Sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes it's a few minutes. It could be a fun piece to play with during your daily life, where you could let Awaglass decide the time duration of different tasks.
