I understand that going digital is a vastly important in the twenty first century. However some things are better left unchanged. Like a hourglass. After all, each thing that goes digital consumes energy. So while we rack our brains to switch over to renewable sources, does it really make sense to increase energy usage on the other hand?

Presenting the digital hour glass , a strict no no for greenies. Go natural folks, let gravity do the work rather than batteries.

The Sand Time Watchis actually a misnomer because the watch uses a digital hour glass only as a screensaver. The actual time, however, is shown once you press a button and the screensaver then disappears
