An hourglass, also known as a sandtimer, sandwatch, sandclock, eggtimer, measures a few minutes to an hour of time. It consists of two connected vertical glass bulbs with a regulated flow of material from top to bottom. Once the upper bulb empties, it can be flipped for reuse. The term 'hourglass' originates from historical hour-based timing. Factors influencing time measurement include sand quantity, bulb size, neck width, and sand quality; alternatives to sand comprise eggshell powder and marble powder. Today, hourglasses serve ornamental purposes or provide approximations, such as in cooking egg timers or board games.
