"The gentle light penetrates through the white sand and time seems to pass away slower.”

A 15 minutes sand timer with a timeless design. With the light shining from the bottom, every grain of sand that slips away becomes crystal clear. As you stare closely at the pile of sand, 15 minutes might pass away unconsciously.



Why we love this product/

  • Built-in LED light that highlights the passage of time
  • Count the last 15 mins before your bedtime with a gentle line of light
  • A Japanese design that leveraging science and innovative ideas

The gentle yellowish light shines from the natural wood stand below. The lighting effect changes as the time passes — the light grows fainter and softer as the sand piles up. If you remove the timer from the base, you can use it as a regular hourglass.

Bedtime is always being delayed after the invention of smartphones. Placing this hourglass next to your bed could not only relax your mind with the gentle lighting effect, but also to remind yourself to use your phone for the last 15 minutes. The hourglass is especially gorgeous when being placed in the dark.
