The Hourglass by Marc Newson

Director Philip Andelman traveled to Basel, Switzerland to see just how Australian designer Marc Newson creates his wonderful glass hourglasses by hand and by machine. The video goes behind the scenes and gives a glimpse at how an hourglass is twisted ever so delicately into its fine shape.

For this type of detailing, you can expect to pay an arm and a leg. They’re available at Colette if you want to splurge.
