Cognitive Surplus Magnetic Sand Timer

The timer is calibrated for exactly one minute, making it ideal for short mindfulness breaks or quick productivity intervals.

No, the magnetic interaction creates unique, organic sculptures with every use. The patterns depend on how the sand settles, so no two cycles look identical.

It is crafted from durable borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and more robust than standard glass, though it should still be handled with care on your desk.

While it is a functional timer, it is designed primarily for mindfulness and desk decor rather than culinary precision. If you need exact timing for cooking, a digital timer is a more reliable choice.

The hourglass rests on the wooden base, which contains the inset magnet responsible for the sculpture effect. It is a two-piece set, allowing you to easily lift the glass vessel if needed.
