Here’s a beautiful video detailing designers Marc Newson’s process for making an hourglass. A huge cylinder of glass is placed on what appears to be a special lathe, and is then spun while heating to create the hourglass shape. Finally, metal beads are added until they take the appropriate amount of time to fall through the timepiece, and it is sealed up.
