Titanium
We’ve transitioned from stainless steel to the highest quality Titanium material, unlocking a stunning array of vibrant colors through anodization. Say hello to a rainbow of exquisite hues, including shades of brown, yellow, bronze-orange, blue, opaline blue, turquoise blue, and green. This enhancement not only meets Marc Newson’s vision but also fulfills the desires of our valued customers for a greater variety of colors.
In addition to the stunning visual change, our Titanium nanoballs are larger in diameter and lighter in weight, preserving the iconic look and feel of our hourglasses. With a smaller quantity of nanoballs, we’ve optimized the flow time, ensuring that your experience remains as captivating as ever.
Experience the perfect fusion of form and function with our Titanium nanoballs. Elevate your collection with a spectrum of colors and an unparalleled quality that only Titanium can deliver. Embrace the future of nanoballs and indulge in a mesmerizing display of colors and performance.
The Hourglass is hand made from a single piece of 5mm to 7mm thick Borosilicate Glass, handblown by artisans to closely reproduce Marc Newson’s design and blue color replicated on millions of nanoballs, painstaking process developped by Denis Flageollet.
