About Hourglass

An hourglass is a non-mechanical instrument that is used to keep time. An hourglass usually measures the passing of an hour, though individual hourglass can be designed to measure different units of time. Some hourglasses measure just a few seconds, while others measure minutes and some even measure days. However, it has nowadays become really a great idea for trade show gift and convention give-a-ways. We have been making this kind of gift hourglass for worldwide clients and assure giving you a quality gift hourglass at great prices for promotion purpose to boost your brand cognition.

History of Hourglass

The hourglass first appeared in Europe in the eighth century, and may have been made by Luitprand, a monk at the cathedral in Chartres, France. By the early fourteenth century, the hourglass was used commonly in Italy. It appears to have been widely used throughout Western Europe from that time through 1500. Before the advent of mechanical clocks, hourglass where commonly used for nautical purposes, cooking and the timing of church services, among other things. Because each hourglass marks only one period of time, we can imagine that our ancestors must have had a large collection of hourglass. One notable hourglass has achieved fame in the classic book and movie The Wizard of Oz. The suspense filled scenes in which the hourglass trickles away Dorothy’s hope of a rescue makes the hourglass familiar to many generations.

Hourglass

Structure of Hourglass

An hourglass consists of two glass bulbs placed one above the other which are connected by a narrow tube. One of the bulbs is usually filled with fine sand which flows through the narrow tube into the bottom bulb at a given rate. Once all the sand has run to the bottom bulb, the device can be inverted in order to measure time again.

Raw Materials of Hourglass

Our hourglass is often constructed out of glass, as its name denotes, but it can also be made of plastic. The frames or housings for hourglass can be made of wood, glass, metal or plastic. The different designs of hourglass frames or housings are endless, ranging from simple to ornamental with everything in between. Raw materials most often can be crafted or carved to suit a particular style, decor, design, or theme. Bamboo, resin, and various metals like brass, bronze, and pewter are also beautiful framing materials.

Sand is the most complex of the components of hourglass. Not all types of sand can be used because the grains may be too angular and may not flow properly through the neck of the hourglass. In addition, the sand in our hourglass can be made in different colors so the sand in the hourglass can be chosen to match room decor or some other color preference.
