Are you secretly searching for a unique gift for your boss, mentor, or a loved one? We recommend our hourglasses from our luxury collection. These are unique decorative accessories and the first timepieces in the world.

What does it mean and what is its history?

The history of the hourglass begins in 1500 BC. It is believed that the first versions appeared in Egypt. Subsequent ones were developed in Ancient Greece. The name hourglass, from the Greek κλεψύδρα, comes from the Greek word κλέπτω, meaning to slip away secretly. In the oldest models, instead of sand, water was poured between connected glass bulbs. This method of measuring time was used until the Middle Ages.

The hourglass as a synonym for the passage of time

Hourglasses, in both their original and current forms, are considered the first clocks. In Ancient Rome, from around 52 AD, they served as timekeepers during court proceedings. In the mid-19th century AD, they were used, for example, to measure time in chess tournaments. Today, models from brands like Dalvey and Italfama are luxurious decorative elements for homes and offices.


Desk hourglass as an elegant decoration for home and office

Are you looking for the right place to display your unique hourglass from the Import Włochy brand? It should be placed centrally so that it is visible from every part of the room. Therefore, place it in the centre of the dining table, in a display cabinet in the living room, or even on the desk in your office. Let it, like the one from Cosi Tabellini - Art of Pewter, highlight the prestige of your position in the company and the exclusive character of your home.

Is a decorative hourglass a good gift idea?

Hourglasses are beautiful decorative accessories that can be used in the arrangement of any home and office. Therefore, those from manufacturers like Authentic Models and CREDAN SA are worth buying as exclusive gifts, both for a loved one and for official occasions, such as for a boss, a retiring employee, or a teacher. The happy expression of the recipient will surely be proof of their pleasant surprise with such a gift.
