Listen to the tone of voice of that guy, and if you can stomach it, listen to the meaning of his words. The general effect is mesmerizing, and at the same time, it conceals a sales pitch for a LOAD OF BULLSHIT. He is selling a 12000 $ object to you. "Extremely difficult to make that hole" ... "perhaps for the last time in history" ... stop and start time" my arse! It's a bloody hourglass. And by the way, for as long as this kind of bullshit works on you, you deserve to be bullshited. We have been making them for millennia, we are still making them by the boatload, and we will be making them for the foreseeable future. No great mystery about it, no great super secret skill involved. The Chinese are turning them out by the ton. Just look on Amazon. That guy didn't design anything. He did a lot of sketching the obvious, did a lot of "hmm.... I'm creating... intense creating process happening here, by profound designer master guy", and then, he ordered a perfectly ordinary hourglass. Bah!
