LED Hourglass Timer With Flip Activation

This is a small electronic timer shaped like an hourglass, using LED light patterns instead of falling sand to mark the passing of time. When turned over, it begins a visual countdown, combining a familiar gesture with a more modern, illuminated display. It exists for moments when an ordinary timer feels too functional and disappears into the background. By giving the act of measuring time a physical action and a visible presence, it makes short intervals easier to notice and slightly more intentional. What makes it interesting is the way it borrows the logic of a sand timer without trying to replicate it directly. It feels less like a precision tool and more like a domestic object that gives time a shape and a rhythm within a space.
