A brass 3-minute sand timer on a rotating all-brass base with an integrated working compass. The rotating mount allows in-place flipping and the compass is functional — the all-brass format gives this a cleaner, more traditional instrument look compared to wood-base variants. Ships assembled and ready to display. A natural fit for maritime gift retailers, travel accessory buyers, and desk instrument collections — the all-brass format and rotating mount appeal to buyers who prefer a cohesive single-material aesthetic within the hourglass-with-compass category.
Rotating Brass Hourglass with Compass Base, 3-Minute
- Solid brass hourglass with a rotating mount and integrated working compass — the all-brass configuration gives this a cleaner, more minimal instrument aesthetic than wood-base variants.
- Rotating mount enables in-place flipping over the 3-minute cycle — a practical refinement over static designs, with consistent display appeal.
- All-brass construction with an antique finish — the single-material aesthetic reads as coherent and intentional, suited to buyers who prefer a traditional instrument look without warm-wood accents.
- 3-minute flow in a 5.5-inch form — a compact desk-scale piece that functions as both a timer and a display item.
- Suited to maritime décor, travel-themed gift sets, and collector displays where the compass adds genuine navigational instrument appeal.
- A cross-category SKU that places naturally in maritime gift shops alongside telescopes, compasses, and barometers.
