30-Minute Copper Hourglass
This Howard Miller sand timer measures 1.73 in x 3.86 in and runs for 30 minutes. White sand flows through borosilicate glass capped with natural solid wood end pieces. The compact round design suits desks, shelves or bedside tables.
For Focus Sessions Not Interval Training
The fixed 30-minute duration serves meditation, deep work, yoga or classroom reading blocks. Buyers who need shorter intervals such as 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes should look at a different timer. The single colour and unmarked glass also rule it out for anyone who wants colour-coded or labelled timing.
Desk-Ready With No Power Required
The timer stands freely on its wooden ends and needs no batteries, cables or mounting hardware. Its silent operation keeps a quiet room quiet. The 1.73 in width fits tight shelves while the 3.86 in height remains visible across a table.

Questions about this item
Does this 30 minute timer need batteries or a power outlet to operate?
No, the hourglass runs purely on gravity — white sand flows through borosilicate glass between solid-wood end caps, so nothing needs charging or plugging in.
Will the 1.73 in x 3.86 in copper-finished timer sit securely on a vintage desk with a slightly uneven surface?
Yes, the tightly fitted wooden caps give the 3.9 in tall timer a stable, flat base on both ends, so it stays upright even on minor imperfections.
How can I verify the sand runs for the full 30 minutes after I unbox it?
Flip the timer and watch the white sand flow smoothly from top to bottom; when the last grain settles, exactly 30 minutes have elapsed.
