This custom Signature Collection hourglass is handcrafted from solid cocobolo wood grown in Central America. A beautiful wood, it's denseness makes it very strong and durable and it finishes very smoothly. The color is a variegated yellow-orange, dark red with irregular black stripes. Like all wood cocobolo varies in graining and color - with some hourglasses the black stripes are more prominent, in others the yellow-orange color is more prominent. No two are alike. Combined with glass bulbs hand-blown in England, this classic piece is stunning.

Key Features

  • Wood construction
  • Fillable globe

Specifications

  • Offered in 3 sizes - 4"D x 6"H, 6"D x 10"H or 8"D x 12"H (size approximate as globes are handblown and frame built around them)
  • Available fully assembled (as shown) or in kit form.
  • Fully assembled have 5 or 15 minute timers in the 4x6 size, 60 or 50 minutes in the 6x10 size, and 60 minutes in the 8x12 size.
  • Kits are available with two options: You assemble, no sand - for customers who want to add their own sand (i.e. two different colors). Note: globe provided has a larger hole to accommodate different types of sand so timer accuracy is not ensured.

Wedding gift to bride

I bought the fill-it-with-sand-and-assemble-yourself kit so that my wife and I could fill the hourglass with sand from our honeymoon. The hourglass kit came with all required parts and detailed, complete instructions for assembly. You could tell that the author had actually assembled these hourglasses before with care and wanted customers to be successful by including a lot of helpful tips (keeping out moisture, using a deadblow hammer to avoid wood damage, etc.). Those touches made assembly painless and professional in quality. The glass hourglass itself was symmetric and strong, and the wood components feel durable and look beautiful.

I received excellent customer support in completing the order with the engraving I wanted and getting the order shipped on time to make the wedding day.

Overall, I was very pleased from start to finish, and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a unique memorable gift.

Family Heirloom

i purchased the cocobolo hourglass to fill with our own sand from a place we consider to be very important. I could not have been more pleased. The craftsmanship is high quality, as evidenced by both the beautiful appearance and the ease of assembly. It fit together perfectly. The plate we ordered with engraving is beautiful and, to our surprise, it is inset in the top piece of wood rather than glued on top. While it would have been easy to beat the price of a fillable hourglass, I do not think that the quality and beauty of this piece could have been beaten. It was worth every penny-and with our sand, it will be a family heirloom handed down generations to come. We are thrilled. Thank you to the extremely helpful staff for your assistance. They were both extremely personable and professional. Thank you for this gift!

Great hourglass and great company!

We found JustHourglasses after a terrible experience with another company that left us without an hourglass just two weeks before our wedding. JustHourglasses was extremely responsive with their customer service, very professional, courteous, and made sure to rush our order so that we got it with plenty of time to spare. The hourglass is gorgeous, and it really added something special to our wedding ceremony, but what truly stood out was the customer service. Thank you so much for helping relieve some stress just before my wedding and we couldn't be happier!!

Well made with real wood. Tried to find and other companies did not have the quality of this product.

Contacted company before ordering and they were able to confirm I would get the hourglass when needed.

Solid Cocobolo Wood Hourglass w engraving

The product was beautiful but the quote in the engraving was misspelled.

It was very disappointing that nobody in the process of shipping the product caught the mistake. The process of returning the product and getting my refund was cumbersome giving the fact that I have to ship and handle the return because of your company mistake. In addition I have to wait between 1-2 weeks for you to return my shipping costs.

* Note from JustHourglasses: We sincerely apologize for this experience. Not only do we usually have stellar results with our engraving partner this return was not handled according to our usual procedure of sending the customer a return label. This misstep has been addressed.

Just What I Wanted

My hourglass is in the beautiful cocobolo wood which looks wonderful with an inscription engraved into the wood. I couldn't be more pleased.

The representative who helped me with my order was extremely careful and attentive. She answered all of my questions with care and so the finished product is just what I wanted.

Love my new hourglass

The Cocobolo hourglass we bought is just great !
The work on this item is so fine and everyone that have seen it loves it.

It is always a little stress buying on-line from new source but everything went well and quickly so we cannot be more happy with the transfer and the delivery.

Useful and attractive!

I don't think this hourglass could be improved in any way.
It times exceedingly close to one hour (usually within 30 seconds) and it's a really relaxing way to make sure I don't spend too long wasting time. There's no anticipation of a harsh alarm sound and all it takes to check how much time is left is a glance.
The hourglass is also beautiful and it's very relaxing and enjoyable just watching the sand flow from one chamber to the other. The wood is a magnificent colour I've never seen anything like it.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Very sturdy. A great thing to add to my collection of timepieces.

The service was excellent. The staff were very helpful and I received it much more quickly then expected even though I live in Australia.

Wonderful Product

This is a really great product that looks even better in person than on the web site. I've gotten a lot of complements on this hourglass over the years. And on the several times I've timed it it has been within 30 seconds of its 2-hour rating.

Prompt and trouble-free order and delivery.

Beautiful for wedding sand ceremony

We purchased this hourglass with a 1 hour globe to fill during our wedding sand ceremony (our wedding was 8/28/2011). It's a stunning product--and the wedding photos turned out fantastic.

The only downside was difficulty in finding sand that worked as the globe that came with sand was not available in our timeframe. Customer service recommended the sand from sandsationalsparkle; however we discovered that the sand stuck to the sides of the hourglass and did not flow properly. We finally found some sand that worked from our local craft store; however the flow time is way less than the hour advertised for the globe we purchased (in fact less than 30 minutes).

Delivery was quick.

Wonderfully Crafted - Beautiful Timepiece

The only comment i have is that I would have loved this Hourglass even more if I could have gotten it with the other center sticks not the solid straight one but the one with the knot in the center I think those are more attractive - otherwise this is a beautiful timeless piece and everyone comments about it.

When I purchased it I was assisted wonderfully - its been a while now but I believe her name was Linda. She helped me with every aspect I had questions on - she always returned my calls or e-mails and when she told me it would be delivered it was. So all in all it was an enjoyable buying experience.

AWESOME

We purchased this hourglass as a corporate gift for an employee that has been with the company for 15 years. It was better than we expected.

Service was exactly how service should be. These guys are friendly and easy to work with.

Excellent hourglass finds it way over the Atlantic

I live in Sweden but I couldn't find a nearby store selling hourglasses. After searching the web I found JustHourglasses.com and ordered a 60 min Cocobolo hourglass. Had no problems at all and it arrived safely after finding its way over the Atlantic.

Simply great! Had no troubles whatsoever.
