AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Official Audi Hourglass with Ferromagnetic Particles – Exclusive Collectible Piece.

Elegant and sophisticated official Audi hourglass, a collectible decorative piece hard to find and practically absent from conventional commercial channels. This exclusive object combines design, technology, and kinetic art in a format inspired by the innovation characteristic of the German brand.

Unlike a traditional hourglass, it does not contain conventional sand. Inside it houses thousands of tiny black ferromagnetic particles that react 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 in the glass.
Keeps its original box and presentation.
Decorative piece for an office, study, showroom, or automotive collection.
Promotional/corporate edition item, very uncommon.

This is an object that combines engineering, contemporary design, and the physics of magnetism. The ferromagnetic particles create three-dimensional formations that differ with each use, making it a piece that is both decorative and interactive. Especially appealing to Audi collectors, lovers of industrial design, and enthusiasts of exclusive scientific objects.
