Touch the Time with Hourglass

Hello guys! Welcome to a new day and welcome to the new sharing of zakkatalk bog! Today I would like to share a set of hourglasses with you.

In order to better introduce it, I searched online and find some easy-to-read introduction. Generally the hourglass also refers to sandglass, sand clock, sand timer. It can measure the passage of the time probably a few minutes or an hour. The hourglass usually has two connected vertical glass bulbs allowing a regulated trickle of material from the top to the bottom. The moment when the top bulb is empty, it can be inverted to begin timing again.

The set if hourglass is made of quality glasses and gravel with special process. The fine material made the foundation to the high quality of the zakka hourglass.

It can use to timing 30 minutes when the top bulb is empty. If you still want to timing, just invert the hourglass. It is about 20 cm high and with 8 cm diameter for the bulb.

To add to more sweet touch to the hourglass, there are five colors for the sand. The colors available are white, pink, blue, yellow, and purple. 

Use it to timing for cooking or board games. It would be fun and helpful. Meanwhile, maybe sometimes, you feel bored, just simply watching the sand trickle and touch the passage of time directly. Recall the happy times in mind and put yourself up ready for the challenge as well as splendor in life!
