The play of imagination is a wonderful thing, providing man with endless configurations of form and function. Only a concept for now, hopefully soon an available product, the sand+time watch.

“Sand+Time Watch is a project that unites modern technologies and old ways of measuring time. Sand+Time offers its wearer the time in modern electronic hours, but the form of the interface has also been borrowed from an old sand hourglass. The watch functions in two modes. The first, the screensaver, takes the form of a sand hourglass counting a certain time unit set by the user to their preference. (The default setting for the hourglass is to count one minute.) The second mode displays the time in numbers, the most common electronic interface for the modern person.”
