Hourglasses are more than just decoration

Long before there were mechanical watches, hourglasses in particular were an important tool for measuring time. This was not about style, but about functionality. We breathe a new, contemporary life into this form of measuring time and offer a wide variety of modern, classic and design elements in our online shop at fotoalben-discount.de as modern decoration and practical companions at the same time.

Why buy an hourglass?

They are not only the legendary clocks from many stories and fairy tales, but even today they are still very practical helpers that also look good. Sometimes such a clock even stands next to the toothbrush cup in the bathroom - this is especially important for small children when they want to learn how to brush their teeth independently with a 3-minute time limit. For this kind of clock, you don't have to be able to read the big clock with the hands.

Our products can also be highlights at a family evening: They are also popular for games like Taboo. With one turn, you "activate" the clock and don't have to search forever for a stopwatch. In addition, children can also recognise when time is running out. Browse our assortment for many more decorative products that will not only make your game night or brushing your teeth fun.

Wide assortment

There are hourglasses that last 60 minutes and those that only show 5 minutes. Which version is the best? The version at 30 minutes represent the so-called "golden hourglass", and of course it is possible to measure even longer times with each model by turning it over once the sand has passed through.

Colourful hourglasses can be used as attractive decoration for the home. In addition, modern examples also improve the living environment. For example, they attract attention with sand of a different colour as an eye-catcher. Would you like a model in red, pink or turquoise?

Thanks to their beautiful appearance, coloured hourglasses are also ideal as small presents, for example for the first home of one's own or for children's first permanent teeth.

Classic hourglasses

The shape of classic hourglasses corresponds to that of an 8 and is rather bulbous. Nevertheless, there are no standardised shapes for this type of clock. The classic and at the same time most popular product is the figure 8 shape - but these come in different sizes (small, medium, large) and with different durations (3, 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes).

In most cases, a classic decorative hourglass can also be used as such and turned upside down to tell the time. Hourglasses as timekeepers are more pleasant than annoying ringtones or beeps on smartphones anyway. This is especially true when it comes to wellness like a hot bath. The keyword here is "digital detox".

Deco Hourglass

Our decorations are available in a wide variety of designs. So there is something for every taste, whether it is colourful sand, special shapes or special materials. A decorative hourglass not only brings an alternative to timekeeping into your four walls, but also contributes significantly to the feel-good factor as a decoration.

Hourglasses with frame

A special highlight in terms of hourglasses are our hourglasses with frames. These are not only stylish, but also practical. Here, the decorative hourglass does not have to be constantly moved itself, but can be rotated in its frame with a little nudge - without having to make any adjustments.

Special forms

Have you ever heard of cactus-shaped hourglasses or magnetic sand? You will find these and many other designs in our shop. These can not only be used as a special eye-catcher in your four walls, but can just as easily be given as a gift.

Creative gift idea

Everyone is happy to receive hourglasses as a gift, because they are something special. If you also choose a special shape with special functions and materials, your gift will be the highlight. So why not give a decorative but practical decorative hourglass as a wedding or birthday present?

Hourglasses also go down well in the business sector. Think of a special customer or supplier with whom you have a long-standing business relationship. This special business friend has probably already received many gifts for Christmas or other occasions - but certainly not a decorative hourglass to help them relax on stressful days.

No matter what the occasion, such a gift is always special and will always remind the recipient of you when they look at it. Depending on the style and taste of the recipient, you will certainly find something in our shop.
