I have the 15 minute timer and enjoy it so much I've purchased a few more as gifts. Need to fold laundry? Race the green clock and limit yourself to 15 minutes. It's fun for my kids too, but it should probably only be handled by gentle hands. You'll have a 15-minute mess if the glass breaks.

I received these items as a gift. I had had them on my favorites list for a long time so you can imagine how excited i was :) The two sizes look great nestled next to each other. I always receive compliments on them. They're beautiful and have came in handy actually. BUY THEM!! you wont regret it :)

That's what everyone will have, when they see these gems. I was tickled pink to finally see this in person.
I think I've had this on "my list" for two years possibly! I'm glad this is a CB2 staple, which made them still available when I was finally ready to purchase.
Shipping was fast, again fast! They shipped on Friday and it was at my door on Saturday, definitely unexpected. By the way, I got the set, hour and 15-min, I think it would be a shame to only get one without the other.
This was my first CB2 purchase, with service and quality like this, I will definitely become a long term customer.
i had been eyeing these hourglasses for a long time on line and finally bought them. i'm thrilled with the purchase. they add a nice pop of color in the room, but are still understated. i use the hour glass often to time my reading/studying. i haven't found the 15 minute one as useful, but am glad i bought the pair. the small one was inexpensive and they look great as a pair.
love it! A conversation piece as well as time keeper Looks lovely amongst the plants and lanterns on lanai.

I have a problem with motivating myself to clean- so I make a bargain with myself that I'll only have to do it for 15 minutes, flip it over, and go! Plus, it just looks awesome. I love the green. :)
Do you spend too much time online? If you're like me and need a little reminder to get up from behind that screen, this beautiful hourglass is just the thing. It gives you just under and hour to browse, blog or buy and it does so with great style!
Purchased both the hour & 15 mn hour glasses. Works as both "timers" & accent pieces. Great for all decor types. The chartreuse green is a fresh color--perfect amount of "pop". The only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5, the glass on the 15 mn cracked & broke after a slight nudge topple over. Glass is thinner than the hour size. Will still keep the piece for now---put the broken side @ the back. Great addition for style & color!
I have had these hour glasses for a few years and have enjoyed them thorougly. They look fantastic in my office, and are a joking reminder to keep our meetings on time. One was unfortunately broken by someone in the office -- so I quickly rushed to replace it. I cannot imagine my space without the pair. Thank you for continuing to carry such a great product!
Got this as a grad gift for my son (no symbolism intended) and he really likes it. In fact, it is still sitting in the living room because everyone likes it. The bright green sand is pretty and it is soothing to see the sand drop.

This is a great and functional accessory for my desk. I love that it functions as a timekeeper but gives you a visual reminder without the stress of a digital alarm sound.
very stylish desktop accents, would prefer them to be either heavier or of more durable material given the price, but still a nice touch to any tabletop.

We bought these hourglasses to go with the dropped numbers clock. The greens go perfectly together. These look great and are actually very practical - when I'm having work meetings, I use them to time discussions (we have 30 minutes to brainstorm and then must come to a decision).
