Predice el tiempo como un capitán de barco del siglo XVII.

Storm Glass es un instrumento meteorológico con encanto anticuario. Algunos dicen que las misteriosas formaciones cristalinas en su interior pueden predecir tormentas inminentes 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 del Storm Glass ha cautivado a los pronosticadores del tiempo durante casi 200 años.

Este termoscopio/barómetro de acero y vidrio, fabricado en Dinamarca, se presenta en una atractiva caja de regalo de palisandro con inserciones de espuma personalizadas.

James A. ★★★★★
