Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Liquid Hourglass work?
Instead of sand it uses coloured oil bubbles in water. Oil and water do not mix, so the bubbles pass through the liquid without blending as they move from one side to the other.
How long does one run last?
A run lasts about 2 minutes. Turn it over to start again, and the coloured bubbles make the journey from one side to the other.
How big is it and what is it made of?
It measures 13.6 cm by 5.5 cm by 3.3 cm and is made of acrylic, water and coloured oil. It is small enough for a desk or shelf, and some people use it as a paperweight.
Which colours are available?
There are four colour combinations to choose from: blue-green, blue-pink, orange-yellow and red-green. Each pair of oil bubble colours stays separate as it moves.

Bought this for my 9-year-old after he spotted one in a shop window and he hasn’t stopped fiddling with it since. He flips it over, counts how long the coloured bubbles take to drift down, then goes off to ask me why the oil is slower than water. Had to look that one up myself. It’s now sitting next to his bed and he’s chuffed to bits.

Got this for my grandson’s birthday. He gave me the biggest smile when he opened it. Lovely little thing.

Third thing I’ve ordered from here and it’s another good one. Sleek, looks smart on my desk, and the bubbles are oddly calming when I’m on a long call. Only niggle is it’s not a precise timer, so don’t expect to boil an egg by it. Still a cracking bit of kit for the price.

My grandkids were chuffed to bits with the Liquid Hourglass! Brilliant Easter gift. They can’t get enough of watching the colourful bubbles float around.

The Liquid Hourglass has been an intriguing addition to my desk. Fascinating to watch, as the multicoloured blobs move elegantly, defying gravity in a slow dance. Can’t help but feel mesmerised by its calming effect each time I glance over.
