Description from the seller

Official Audi Magnetic Particles Hourglass – Exclusive Collector’s Piece.

Elegant and sophisticated official Audi hourglass, a decorative collector’s item that is difficult to find and practically absent from conventional commercial channels. This exclusive object combines design, technology, and kinetic art in a format inspired by the brand’s characteristic innovation.

Unlike a traditional hourglass, it does not contain ordinary sand. Inside, thousands of tiny black ferromagnetic particles are housed, reacting to the magnetic field at the wooden base. When you turn it, the particles descend slowly, forming changing structures, peaks, and figures with a strong visual impact, creating a hypnotic effect reminiscent of magnetorheological fluids used in advanced suspension technologies, such as the Audi Magnetic Ride system.

Features
Official Audi product.
High-quality transparent glass body.
Solid dark wooden base.
Black ferromagnetic particles instead of conventional sand.
Dynamic magnetic, sculptural effect.
Audi logo engraved on the glass.
Keeps its original box and presentation.
Decorative piece for an office, study, showroom, or automotive collection.
Very uncommon promotional/corporate edition item.

This is an object that blends engineering, contemporary design, and the physics of magnetism. The ferromagnetic particles create different three-dimensional formations with each use, making it both decorative and interactive. An especially appealing item for Audi collectors, lovers of industrial design, and aficionados of exclusive scientific objects.
