Cool but missing stuff

The hour glass is good looking and goes for an hour but the hourglass is missing feet on one side leaving a chance for that side to receive scratches

Oh my both ends should have the knobs in them. We are so sorry about that and will send you replacements!

Perfect Gift

I bought 2 of these as a graduation gifts for my great niece and great nephew. Customer service was very kind and helpful with the engraving I wanted - and the gifts arrived quickly and were just beautiful. Thank you so much for a perfect quality gift.

As advertised

Item arrived in good order, shipping was fast.

Perfect little hourglass!

This elegant small hourglass is the perfect size & I love the simple design. A review I read prior to purchasing it, mentioned the natural multicolored grains of sand; which is why I chose this particular one. I'm very happy with it.

Hourglass is glued together…look elsewhere.

Hourglass arrived fine, though the box was damaged and the sender put the minimum amount of effort into padding the box. What’s most frustrating is the hourglass arrived intact, but it’s held together with glue. The beads of glue are noticeable, and indicate a general laziness in production that does not match price I paid for this. Oh well, shame on me for buying something sight unseen.

PS Hopefully now these pesky emails stop coming in reminding me to review their product.

Piece of timeless beauty

Beautiful piece and an excellent company. Made everything just right !

The hourglass is beautiful!

Words just aren’t enough..

This is absolutely beautiful. I contacted customer care several times to ask questions concerning the details of my order, my messages were always replied to in a very quick, friendly and helpful manner. The hourglass arrived when stated and was well packaged. I knew I would love it but didn’t realize just how much I would love it until I opened the box and held it for the first time. A true treasure to help honor a loving memory. Thank you!

Beautiful, functional

I got this for my coworker as a group birthday present and she loves it. Thanks, O Great Keepers of the Time, for specializing in beautiful pieces for display that make excellent gifts. !

Functional

Not as visually elegant as the rounded ones I purchased, but perfectly functional, and seems less prone to breakage (without a stand) than the round ones.

Elegant and beautiful

The shape and glass on this is very elegant; it's very pretty. I got it as a tool to help my daughter learn about time, and I've found it useful.

Now that I have a four-year-old using it, I wish I'd sprung for the one in the wooden stand. But so far we haven't broken it.

Superb Craftsmanship

What a beautiful timepiece this is. I've always liked hourglasses and couldn't resist buying one for myself. When I first took it out of the box it I thought how much nicer it looked in person than on the website. It's very solidly made. You can tell a lot of care went into both the wood and glass and that it will last for many years. I wanted a semi functional timer as well and even though they list these as ornamental, I was happy to see that after testing the times we're actually pretty on point. Side A had an average time of 1:01:20 with the highest divergence of 1:01:27 while side B had an average of 1:00:30 with the fastest being 1:00:27. So all in all pretty accurate!

Timeless Piece

I been looking for an hourglass like this one for a while now. I found this one, and it is perfect, a 10/10. Beautiful wood finish, very elegant and simple design. A bit pricy but worth every penny for the quality and beauty that you get in return. I highly recommend this product.

Beautiful and fast shipping!

Koko sand

I love it,they y'all whoever tho need to make more with different colored sand Too many white sand ones Boring like,ya know, have a great day

"Antique"

Arrived with a huge crack down the end, was told "Actually that crack didn’t happen during shipment. Because of how these hourglasses are made (from bobbins and shuttles sourced from old cotton factories) all of them have imperfections (cracks, discolorations, slight wobble etc). Much like antique furniture will have scratches/dents etc these hourglasses are in similar condition as they were actually used in a prior life 😊."

Over the next few days with minimal/light use, the crack became deeper, a small chip of wood from the center fell off, and the other side now has a crack. Additionally, the hourglass times out to around 4:30 instead of 5:00 minutes, and the sand in the hourglass consistently sticks to the edges towards the end of the 4:30.

Overall would not recommend this hourglass. See reviews for different size antique bobbin hourglass for similar experiences, I wish I read those before purchasing.

Love the hour glass 1 minute timer

The product is exactly as described. Thank you very much!

Perfect Anniversary Gift

Close friends were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary and I wanted something special to acknowledge reaching this milestone. They were totally delighted with the beautiful hourglass and custom message on plaque at base. Shannon was so responsive and helpful at every step in the process. A joy for my friends to receive and for me to give!
