How accurate is the hourglass timer?
The hourglass is calibrated to approximate the selected time duration (15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes). Because it uses natural sand flow through a glass neck, timing may vary by 1–2 minutes depending on temperature, humidity, and surface levelness. It's best used as a visual guide rather than a precision timer.
What are the sand color options?
You can choose from 10 beautiful sand colors: Champagne, Yellow, Red, White, Light Blue, Green, Grey, Purple, Black, and Blue. Each color creates a different decorative effect against the clear glass.
Can I use this as a meditation or yoga timer?
Absolutely. The silent, screen-free sand flow makes it an ideal mindfulness and meditation timer. Many customers prefer it over phone timers because it eliminates digital distractions and provides a calming visual focus point.
Is this hourglass suitable as a gift?
Yes, it makes an excellent gift for birthdays, housewarming, graduation, or professional milestones. The neoclassical luxury design looks impressive on any desk, and the choice of 10 sand colors lets you personalize it for the recipient.
What material is the base made from?
The base is crafted from natural wood with polished metal accent pieces, giving it a premium, heirloom-quality look and feel that complements both traditional and modern desk setups.
How do I clean the hourglass?
Gently wipe the glass bulbs with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Dust the wooden base with a dry cloth. Avoid submerging in water or using chemical cleaners on any part of the hourglass.
Is the glass real glass or plastic?
The hourglass features genuine glass bulbs, not plastic. This ensures crystal-clear visibility of the flowing sand and gives the piece a premium weight and feel. Handle with care to avoid breakage.
