A sand timer, also known as an hourglass, is a classic time-measuring device that uses the steady flow of sand from one glass chamber to another to mark a specific duration. Elegant and functional, it consists of two connected vertical glass bulbs allowing sand to pass through a narrow passage at a consistent rate. Sand timers are often used for short time intervals and serve both practical and decorative purposes. Whether used in games, kitchen timing, meditation, or as a stylish desk accessory, sand timers bring a touch of timeless charm and visual appeal to any space while providing a simple, silent way to keep track of time.
