The Sentinel's Hourglass

The Sentinel's Hourglass

$139.99

My dear, a sentinel must not only be watchful, but also perfectly punctual. This clock is a constant, towering reminder that every grand adventure must begin exactly on time.

I discovered this magnificent clock in the workshop of a highly secretive German watchmaker who specialized in designing devices that could withstand the intense pressures of deep-sea exploration. He insisted the owl, with its large, focused eyes, would never miss a moment. I traded him a complete set of highly stable Peruvian quartz crystals for the design, which he accepted with great, silent reverence.

This impressive timepiece is cast in cold cast bronze, giving it a substantial, antique metallic finish that highlights its complex details.

  • The Structure: The owl is heavily armored, with rivets, gears, and metallic plating covering its body and wings. It stands on a sturdy, hexagonal gear-shaped base, suggesting industrial strength.

  • The Time: The clock face is nestled neatly within the owl's chest, framed by ornate gears, and it operates silently on a simple battery.

  • The Gaze: Large, commanding goggles are positioned over the owl's eyes, giving it a permanently focused, intelligent look.

  • Scale: This clock makes a statement, measuring an impressive 10 ¾ inches high, with a 5 ⅛-inch square base.

Place The Sentinel's Hourglass on your mantelpiece or in your study where its solemn, vigilant gaze can inspire punctuality and focus. Let it whisper of the importance of precise timing and the beauty of a mechanism that never fails.
