Inspired by one of the most prominent metropolitan centers in the world, The New Yorker is an hourglass designed to capture the essence of the city it is named for. The sleek and substantial rope pillars are made from solid pewter, and this design element is a tribute to the majestic skyscrapers that New York is well known for. We use our deep blue Kyanite Oceanstone bases to compliment the pillars, and two solid pewter ship wheel closures come standard with this hourglass. New York City is a cultural mecca, financial and business epicenter, and is home to a cutting edge society that influences the world. The New Yorker from Heirloom Hourglass is inspired by these elements and combines them with modern design and nautical history. This hourglass is a stunning addition to your metropolitan décor, and only needs your sands flowing through it to preserve your memories and symbolize your lifestyle. A collection kit is included, making The New Yorker the perfect gift for any occasion!
