SAMLONGHourglass 60 Minutes White Sand Timer, Black Wooden Frame Sandglass

I bought this because I like to work in 1 hour sessions, and then take a break.This is actually times out about 1:15. Not a dealbreaker, but I would have preferred it be a little more accurate?Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.Finding a good hourglass has turned into quite the quest, and this is the third one I've bought.Lots of them stop altogether, sand gets stuck. Smaller ones tend to do that.This one is a nice size, but not so big it's hogging up my desk real estate.This one has a nice sand flow that I can actually see and is reasonable priced, so I'll run with it...?I like the units with a structure around the glass, gives it protection if it ever gets knocked?

Hour glass works as described and looks nice.

It was a birthday gift for Christmas for my best friend. She loved it so much she put it in her office at work.

I love some of the reviews I read before buying this piece. Very creative uses some have found. For me, I use it as a prop in historical photography and events. It only needs to look the part, so actual precision function is not a requirement. Just look, feel and function. This gives me all of that. What the time doctor ordered. This piece, a sun dial, a telescope and lot's of rum and now I am all set.

It's definitely not an hour, more like an hour and 15 minutes or so, but it looks great.
