Just days away, the 2011 ONLY WATCH charity auction should be a dandy.  I’m probably going to fall a few previews short of showing you all of the one-of-a-kind watches that will be sold at the Geneva event, but I’ve certainly shown you more than any other blog out there and I hope you’ve enjoyed them (see my full list of previews HERE).   Today I wanted to share a few looks at one of the only non-watch items that will be at the event, the Ikepod Hourglass by designer Marc Newson (the Celsius le dix mechanical mobile phone is the other non-watch item).  Needless to say, the Ikepod Hourglass is one of those items that would be such a thrill to be able to display on one’s desk, coffee table etc.  Particularly this piece, which is done in a beautiful ruby red glass.  Oh, and by the way, if you want to see a closer look at how these Ikepod Hourglasses look and sound in action, check out my previous Ikepod Hourglass review HERE>>
