Howard Miller 30-Minute Sand Timer
This Howard Miller hourglass measures 30 minutes with brown sand flowing through hand-blown borosilicate glass. The copper-finished round frame fits on any desk, shelf or mantel. It serves as a simple visual timer for work intervals, meditation or household tasks. No batteries or electronics are required.
Thicker Glass and Protective Packaging
Glass thickness has been increased from 1.55 mm to 1.83 mm for greater durability. Anti-collision packaging is designed to prevent breakage during transit. A small time marker on the timer helps identify the 30-minute duration at a glance. The minimalist design omits decorative frames.
30-Minute Fixed Duration
The timer runs for exactly 30 minutes and cannot be adjusted to other intervals. Buyers who need 15, 45 or 60-minute options must choose a different model. The single fixed duration suits focused work sessions, yoga or children's chores. It does not replace a clock for telling the time of day.

Questions about this item
Will the glass on the 30-minute timer need replacing if it gets knocked?
The borosilicate glass is hand-blown to 1.83 mm thickness, up from 1.55 mm, and the packaging includes anti-collision protection to reduce breakage risk.
What stops the 30-minute timer from running longer than its rated duration?
The brown sand volume is calibrated for a 30-minute flow; once the last grain passes through the aperture the timer simply stops until you invert it again.
Does the copper-finished timer produce any sound or heat while running all day?
It operates silently with no moving parts, generates no heat, and requires no power source, so it adds no noise or warmth to the room.
