Why trust your important game timing to gravity and falling grains of sand?

Sand and glass hourglasses are so 14th century. Bring your games into the 21st century and be the envy of everyone at your next game night.

It all animates beautifully. Sand piles up, turning on the side to pause makes all the sand pour to the side.

The hourglass instantly resets when you flip it upside down, no more waiting for sand to move to start the next round in a game.


Advantages:
+ Adjustable; pick the length of your timer to suit the game.
+ Quick Reset; just flip it over to reset the timer. No more waiting while the sand trickles from one bulb to another.
+ Sound and Vibration; a buzzer and vibrating means you'll never miss when time is up. With an old sand timer, if nobody was watching closely, one team could get more time unfairly.*
+ Silica, which could be used to build more iPhones and iPods, is not wasted!
+ Now with 7 hourglasses to use, from elegant to classic to funny.


* Note that vibration features require iPhone and don't work on the iPod touch.
