The hourglass represents the cyclical nature of time, with the sand flowing continuously from one bulb to another & then reset by flipping the device. This cyclical flow can symbolize the repetitive nature of life, cycles of the seasons, & the ongoing passage of time. in essence, the hourglass is more than just a timekeeping device; it is a symbol of the relentless march of time & a reminder of the preciousness of each moment. Its enduring presence in both historical contexts & contemporary settings highlights its significance as a timeless icon. -15 Minutes: Height 16.3cm / 6.41 in, Width 7.5cm / 2.95 in. /Production time & delivery time/: Production time is 3-7 working days.
