Nagina International 12″ Dark Brown Wooden Vintage Stylish Functional Large SandTimer Machine | Oldage Hourglass Antique Home Decor Executive Gifts

An Hourglass (Or Sandglass, Sand Timer, Sand Clock Or Egg Timer) Is A Device Used To Measure The Passage Of Time. It Comprises Two Glass Bulbs Connected Vertically By A Narrow Neck That Allows A Regulated Flow Of A Substance (Historically Sand) From The Upper Bulb To The Lower One. Typically The Upper And Lower Bulbs Are Symmetric So That The Hourglass Will Measure The Same Duration Regardless Of Orientation. The Specific Duration Of Time A Given Hourglass Measures Is Determined By Factors Including The Quantity And Coarseness Of The Particulate Matter, The Bulb Size, And The Neck Width.
