Oscilloglass – Kokusai – Yoi 5 minutes
Innovative mechanical hourglass.
Inspired by watchmaking, with a soft rhythmic beat.
5-minute version, walnut finish – Made in Japan.
Oscilloglass – Yoi 5 minutes is far more than a traditional hourglass.
It’s a mechanical and poetic object that lets you experience time through gentle movement, sound and vibration.
Once flipped, the gravity-activated components begin a slow, regulated descent, guided by a clock-like mechanism. The result is a rhythmic pulse, resembling a soft heartbeat, that brings a quiet sense of presence.
The Yoi edition expresses the peaceful hues of twilight, just after sunset. Crafted in glass, brass, stainless steel, and walnut wood, it offers a 360° view of the mechanism – a captivating visual experience.
This version measures 5 minutes, ideal for meditative pauses or mindful reflection.
