De Beers Diamond Brass Hourglass

The De Beers Diamond Hourglass is a masterclass in horological novelty and luxury craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 70 x 148mm, this exquisite piece transcends traditional timekeeping by replacing sand with roughly two thousand raw diamonds suspended in a clear, viscous liquid. The visual effect is mesmerizing as the stones drift through the chamber, catching light with every rotation.

Encased in a gold-plated brass frame, the symmetrical stand is supported by four elegantly turned pillars and finished with polished circular caps. Signed by the iconic house of De Beers, it comes complete with its original display stand and a signature fitted case. As a rare “Novelty Clock,” it represents a pinnacle for any high-end collection, blending the prestige of fine jewelry with the timeless allure of kinetic art.
