An hourglass or sand timer was used by early navigators. Columbus used an hourglass on his voyages to the New World. Early Europeans use to turn the hourglass each time the sand ran out and by keeping count of the number of turns, could track time more precisely. These hourglasses remind us of the early day navigational instruments. These are not timed to an hour. Please contact us regarding specific sand times. FREE shipping TO continental U.S. addresses
