MICHELIN Bibendum – Arthus-Bertrand Hourglass 2002 General Assembly

MICHELIN BIBENDUM – ARTHUS-BERTRAND SAND TIMER – 2002 GENERAL MEETING

A beautiful Michelin collector's item made by the prestigious French house Arthus-Bertrand for the 2002 Michelin General Meeting.

This sand timer, also known as a patience game, works by tilting: when the object is tipped, the white sand gradually shifts to reveal or hide the silhouette of the famous Michelin Bibendum.

Its metal frame bears the markings MICHELIN, Bibendum, and ARTHUS-BERTRAND, attesting to its origin.

Distributed at the 2002 Michelin shareholders' meeting, this corporate item is now a particularly interesting piece for collectors of Michelin advertising memorabilia and automobilia.
