I’m not too sure anyone in this century still prefers using the hourglass to tell time. But, if you love the ancient way of telling time, here comes an hourglass that suits the digital era. The Polder digital hourglass timer is shaped like an ancient hourglass, which is equipped with two digital displays both on the top and the bottom bulbs respectively, and the two displays tell you time by having the digital sand to flow from the top to the bottom bulb.
Other than the digital sand the displays also tell time in the numeric way. This is the second option of reading you have, to ensure that you won’t be late for work due to your misread of the digital sand on this hourglass. The hourglass can be used as both as a timer and a clock. What you need is just to flip it over to change between the clock and timer functions. Available in three colors, which are silver, black and red.
