Sand Timers
Hourglass
sand timer is a glass vessel with two compartments joined by a hollow
fine neck. The uppermost compartment has a quantity of sand, which runs
into the lower compartment during a period of time. Despite the
electronic and mechanical watches and clocks available, the sand timers
have a mystique that cannot be surpassed. Buyers are mesmerized by
watching the movement of the timepiece while the sand filters downwards.
It is only with the introduction of the mechanical clock that time began
to be measured in discrete units. It is a traditional way to measure
time; the only time keeper of the earlier times that is least affected
by temperature, humidity vibrations and swinging. In spite of the unprecedented growth in electronics, the unique style of 'Sand Timers' have left a great impact among people who love to decorate their home with nautical themes. Today, sand timers are grand addition to keeping the traditions alive on fine water craft. It is a stately and magnificent piece of boat hardware that brings an air of tradition into the life of the user. A compliment to any decor they make a wonderful unique gift item for employees, customers, prospects and executives.
