My dear, time, like any fine mechanism, must be properly regulated. In an era when travel is measured in aetheric miles and a moment of delay can mean missing the next airship, a precise measure of time is invaluable.
I acquired this remarkable sand timer while visiting the chaotic yet highly productive workshops of Nikola Tesla. He used it not just to measure minutes, but to track the rapid decay of certain unstable aetheric compounds. The sand, he claimed, was pulverized moon rock. While I cannot verify that claim, the piece itself is a stunning example of function married to industrial design.
This hourglass is a true miniature marvel of scientific dedication:
Material: It is beautifully hand painted and constructed from cold cast bronze and glass, giving it a heavy, antique feel.
Design: The central glass hourglass is encased by twin bronze columns, accented with functional-looking gears, pipework, and miniature gauges. The entire frame suggests a sturdy, reinforced temporal device, ready to withstand the rigors of any journey.
Size: At 6 inches tall, it is perfectly sized for a desk or a mantelpiece.
Display The Temporal Governor next to your maps and blueprints. Let it whisper a constant reminder that time is a precious commodity, best spent on grand, well-executed adventures.
