For me the morning runs during the week this way: My alarm clock is its atrocious tone to be programmed by time, whereupon I quickly snooze button on bail – only then after another ten minutes again in the dubious pleasure of alarm to come. These ten minutes are not really relaxing or in any kind of sense. It is more a ritual homage to the domestic pig and dog is only for purely traditional reasons that I continue to operate (better reflect knowledge). Glass Concept minutes here (name plays on the hour-glass shape) is trying to eradicate such rituals – and even with the claim to be ecologically sensible.

Quite unlike my alarm clock, the power from the electrical outlet needs, this – and I thought – without any alarm from power outlet or by battery. Energy gets the minutes glass by strong shaking. And that’s not all. Alarm sounds only if one thing has shaken long enough, that electricity for a whole day there is (magnetic induction is the magic word). How long will probably be here but could not. Additionally, designer an LED, so we minute Glass also can be used as a flashlight. Times quite apart from that after an (un) certain period of shaking is guaranteed awake, I wonder whether it really could be such a thing actually operate without electricity, so that stirring time within reasonable Limits.
