Arguably much more tricky to build than a mechanical clock (since that operates on a straightforward array of gears), this hourglass relies on a LEGO transparent chamber that holds actual LEGO brick granules which slide down from the upper vial to the lower vial, counting down time as they succumb to gravity.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Brick Dangerous<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-413276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/12\/15\/oddly-satisfying-lego-hourglass-actually-counts-down-the-time-with-tiny-brick-granules\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Oddly satisfying LEGO Hourglass actually counts down the time with tiny brick granules\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-413276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/12\/15\/oddly-satisfying-lego-hourglass-actually-counts-down-the-time-with-tiny-brick-granules\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Oddly satisfying LEGO Hourglass actually counts down the time with tiny brick granules\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"9b91924206327b6cb4becb60-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"9b91924206327b6cb4becb60-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-413277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/12\/15\/oddly-satisfying-lego-hourglass-actually-counts-down-the-time-with-tiny-brick-granules\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Oddly satisfying LEGO Hourglass actually counts down the time with tiny brick granules\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-413277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/12\/15\/oddly-satisfying-lego-hourglass-actually-counts-down-the-time-with-tiny-brick-granules\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Oddly satisfying LEGO Hourglass actually counts down the time with tiny brick granules\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/12\/auto-draft\/lego_hourglass_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The entire LEGO build is made of just 575 pieces \u2013 that\u2019s including the \u2018sand\u2019 inside the hourglass. There are a few artistic details on the side in the form of gears that rotate, although they serve no functional purpose. One would expect them to help flip the hourglass over, but it seems like that isn\u2019t the case.
