Pixel Perfect Hour Glass
2008-03-18 14:38:00 Most of us here in the United States (that are not of the Jurassic age demographic) have but one point of reference when it comes to sand filled hour glasses. For over 40 years, one of the longest running television shows in history opens with a slow camera zoom on an hour glass ticking away your daily wasted hour of mind numbing melodrama. The voice over is one of the most famous lines ever written for mass media; “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” That’s it! Aside from the occasional egg-timer sighting or Flintstones episode, society has moved way beyond need for one of the most ancient of technologies, the sand filled hour glass. Designer Pavel Balykin believes this very retro timepiece is on schedule for a comeback. It’s fittingly called the “Sand+Time Watch” and has the distinct feature of a digital hour glass screen saver mode. It’s a “screen saver” mode, because this particular feature does not actually count time for you. If y...

$25,000 For a Diamond Studded Hour Glass
2008-01-30 20:39:00 A diamond Studded Hour GlassKnowing the hour is very important to us. But for now we will not feature a wall clock or a simple watch. This time it's all about an hour glass. A device that they used especially for the people way back before the birth of Christ.Hour glass was a way of measuring time before clocks were invented. If ordinary mortals used sand hourglasses, it?s natural that the affluent use something exclusive. I have just come across this beautiful Hour Glass from De Beers. The exuberant treasure is festooned with 2000 diamonds. The diamond hour glass stands on a top and touts a golden top and base. This diamond hour glass is available in a limited edition run. The price of this beautifully crafted Hour Glass was $25,000.via

Rihanna Hour Glass Figure
2007-11-07 17:51:00 Rihanna Retro Glamour Look Capturing that retro glamour look, singer Rihanna graced the red carpet at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo in a very tight fitting, silky green gown that highlighted her hour glass figure. The dress captured the retro glamour looks of Mae West and Marilyn Monroe while emphasizing Rihanna stunning figure. The silk material was gathered at the knee, and flared into a fish tail like base. Capping her look was a 50ish style hairdo with lots of big curls, especially the large curly bangs. Her beautiful makeup was set aglow with the reddest shade of red lipstick. Altogether a very stunning outfit. Rihanna, not only captured the audience with her green gown and retro glamour look but she also captured "Female Entertainer of the Year" and "World's Best Selling Pop Female Artist" awards. Gatthered at the Knee - Flared Base Among the other World Music Awards winner were: Legend Award for Outstanding Contribution to R&B - Patti LaBelle Legend Award for ...
Hour Glass, from Curiosities of the Church: Studies of Curious Customs, Ser
2007-09-21 13:51:00 “Of the few remaining specimens of the hour-glass, a fine one is preserved in the church of St. Alban’s, Wood Street, London. It is mounted on a spiral column near the pulpit, and the minister can conveniently reach it when preaching. The frame is brass gilt, the design chaste, and the workmanshipp of a superior order. It is pleasing to learn that the old relic is guarded with zealous care. This curiosity of the olden days attracts much attention from visitors to the church.” (p. 117) Hour glasses (giant egg-timers with sand in them) were used in churches to time the length of the sermon; long sermons were especially popular in the 17th century, and could easily stretch ot three hours or more.(read more...)

Keira Knightley: Not an hour glass figure but still sexy as hell
2007-08-13 12:55:00 It’s certainly a different image from that presented in such hit films as Pride And Prejudice and the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. The boyish look gives way to a more mysterious and sexy look. Ever since she appeared in a sports bra as a 17-year-old in British film “Bend It Like Beckham”,she has done nothing ...

Digital Hour Glass Watch
2007-04-15 14:47:00 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.

Digital Hour Glass Watch
2007-04-03 09:06:00 This is a cool looking idea, the sand + time watch, an egg timer for your wrist.The watch would function in two ways, the first as a conventional watch displaying the time (hours at the top, minutes at the bottom) but in the more interesting other mode the display will take on the form of an old fashioned egg timer and display the sand falling from the top screen to the bottom.I do like how the old and new technologies are merged in the sand + time watch, shame it?s just a concept for now.
