Round Hourglass with Metal Spindles 50 Minute Natural or White Sand

Thank you for shopping with us! We do try to inform customers of the following under the 'hourglass sand accuracy' links that are on all of the product pages:

'Hourglasses are aesthetically pleasing ornaments, rather than accurate timepieces - most of our hourglasses (except fillable ones) are accurate to within +/- 10%. Fillable and urn hourglasses are not timed instruments so timing will vary.'

The reasons for this vary, including weather, but the particular hourglass you purchased is better than the average which are usually closer to the 10% variance. Sorry you are unhappy with it!
