Description

The Tempo Drop storm glass with its drop-shaped design is a glass object and weather station by 100percent from Japan that constantly changes as the liquid inside the glass crystallizes in response to daily fluctuations in temperature and air pressure.

A storm glass, also known as a FitzRoy storm glass (after Admiral Robert FitzRoy) or camphor glass, is a glass tube filled with water, ethanol, camphor, potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride, in which crystals occasionally grow in different shapes and dissolve again. It is claimed that these changes herald storms or bad weather fronts.

Inspired by the 19th-century storm glass used by ship's navigators, the Tempo Drop Storm Glass is an exquisite teardrop-shaped glass container, thoughtfully designed to react to temperature changes with mesmerizing crystallization patterns. A nod to nautical history, this beautiful objet d’art evokes memories of Jules Verne's famous novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The Tempo Drop's weather prediction capabilities may remain a mystery, but its enchanting crystallization patterns are an undeniable delight to behold. Whether you're a nautical enthusiast or simply appreciate steampunk aesthetics, this stunning storm glass is sure to captivate your senses.

Install the Tempo Drop in your home office, living room, bedroom-nearby a window for most dramatic results-to infuse your surroundings with a touch of timeless charm. The interplay of light and crystals against the glass is a visual spectacle that sparks conversations and adds intrigue to any setting.

Indulge in the timeless allure of the Tempo Drop Storm Glass, an exquisite masterpiece crafted to enrich your space with its unique beauty and historical significance. Please note that the Tempo Drop Storm Glass is not meant to be used as an accurate weather forecaster.

This beautiful glass object is also available in a smaller version with a height of 11 cm (mini) or in an egg-shaped version (Pulse) with a height of 17 cm.
