1. Unpack the hourglass carefully from its protective packaging. Handle the glass bulbs with care to avoid chips or cracks.

2. Place the hourglass on a flat, stable surface such as a desk, shelf, mantelpiece, or side table. Ensure the surface is level so the sand flows evenly and the timer keeps accurate time.

3. To start timing, simply flip the hourglass upside down. The sand will begin flowing from the upper bulb to the lower bulb.

4. When all sand has transferred to the bottom bulb, the timed interval is complete. Flip again to restart.

Tip: For the most accurate timing, allow a few seconds after flipping for the sand flow to stabilize before starting your activity.

Glass Care: Wipe the glass bulbs gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid harsh glass cleaners or abrasive cloths that could scratch the surface.

Wood Base Maintenance: Dust the wooden base regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid placing the hourglass in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV exposure can fade the wood finish over time. Keep away from excessive moisture or humidity to prevent warping.

Metal Accents: Polish the metal trim pieces with a soft cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or polishes that may tarnish or discolor the metallic finish.

General Handling: Always handle the hourglass with both hands when flipping or moving it. Set it down gently on stable surfaces. Avoid dropping, shaking, or tilting aggressively, as this may dislodge the sand flow mechanism or crack the glass.

Storage: If storing for an extended period, wrap in soft cloth or bubble wrap and place in a box to protect the glass from accidental impact.

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.
