This striking brass and blackwood top spins so fast it seems to be standing perfectly still. With a little practice, Long Distance Runner can stay balanced and twirling for several minutes at a time. Simply wind the string around the top and give a sharp pull to get it going. A modern update on an ancient toy design.

Individually crafted by hand in Germany.

Alexander ★★★★★

Bought this for my brother who fidgets during calls, and now I keep stealing it back. The brass and blackwood have a nice weight, and once you get the hang of it the thing spins so fast it looks frozen.

Henry U. ★★★★☆

Got this as a desk toy and it's surprisingly hypnotic once you get the spin right. The brass and blackwood look sharp together, though it took me a good ten minutes of practicing before it stayed up for more than a few seconds.
