This year we have a financial crisis so Rolex decide to release a hour glass. There are no pics
yet of those but the sand have been delivered.

Dude, where can I get mine??

GradyPhilpott · 30 January 2009, 02:48 PM

This might explain the concept a little better.

I'm not sure about the Rolex connection. I guess it might involve one of those art grants.

It's not new, actually it's a reissue. My grandfather bought one in 1908, it's never been serviced and still keeps perfect time.

Jocke

To what depth will the new models be water resistant???

hflee55 · 31 January 2009, 12:46 AM

what is the MSRP eh?

Xenophon · 31 January 2009, 01:00 AM

Before JJ gets in I'm going to call it Sandy

Rolexitis · 31 January 2009, 01:04 AM

So is Rolex now telling us to "Go Pack Sand!?"

TheDude · 31 January 2009, 01:35 AM

That's actually not a bad idea - I'd buy a Rolex hourglass made of green crystal. Nothing against the paperweight "crowns", but that would be a nicer desk accessory IMO.

Trurolexer · 31 January 2009, 01:59 AM

Very funny, Jocke!!!

Armand · 31 January 2009, 04:25 AM

in what colours will the sand be available?

Will there be one with Diamonds or Sapphires in it, too?

And when will the Ceramic version be released?
