Predice el tiempo como un capitán de mar del siglo XVII. Storm Glass es un instrumento meteorológico con encanto anticuario. Algunos dicen que las misteriosas formaciones de cristal en su interior pueden predecir tormentas o incluso las condiciones ideales para pescar. El almirante Robert FitzRoy, del Servicio Meteorológico Británico, confiaba en este dispositivo. Los termómetros modernos pueden ser más precisos, pero la magia visual de Storm Glass ha cautivado a los pronosticadores del tiempo durante casi 200 años. Este termoscopio/barómetro de acero y vidrio está fabricado en Dinamarca y se presenta en una atractiva caja de regalo de palisandro con inserciones de espuma personalizadas.

The little brass hook lets me hang it right by the kitchen window, and I've caught myself checking the feathery crystals every single morning like some old-timey ritual. It actually did cloud up and go hazy the night before a big thunderstorm rolled through, which felt both charming and genuinely us

The crystal formations shifted from clear feathery strands to murky clouds three days before the rain hit, and I swear the timing was spot on. It's become my little morning ritual to check it before the weather app.
