The origin of hourglasses is uncertain. It is believed that the Roman armies used them at night, and it has also been said that they were invented by a French monk towards the end of the 8th century.
At that time, Charlemagne, the king of the Franks, had one so large that it only had to be turned every 12 hours.
Certain hourglasses were commonly used during sailing voyages to establish the length of work days within the ship, of which Antiquus reproduces several examples.
The “Le Carré” hourglass consists of a four-dimensional cube on a three-dimensional space, in whose geometric center it carries the time bulb. It is an avant-garde design based on a classic concept.
