History of the Hourglass
The hourglass, also known as a sand timer, sand glass, or sand clock, is a device traditionally used for the measurement of time.
Since the hourglass was one of the few reliable methods of measuring time at sea, it may have been used as far back as the 11th century, where it would have complimented the magnetic compass as an aid in sea navigation.
Not until the 14th century is there actual evidence of their existence, appearing in a painting by Ambrogio Lorenzetti in 1328. The earliest written records came from the same period and appear on lists of ship supplies.
From the 15th century on, they were being used widely at sea, in churches, at work, and for cooking. The first dependable, reusable, reasonably accurate method of measuring time.
