! Hour candle

Wow!!~ The first time when you looked at this product, you might think this is just a conventional candle. Yeah, you are pretty close, this candle is nothing too special except that it is a 1 hour candle, which measures 1 hour exactly. In fact it is a simply a combination of time and measurement.
Back in the ancient time when the clocks haven't been invented, people measures time with a little candle likewise thing. For example, in China, a cone of fragrant incense measures approximately 2 hours. However, 1 hour candle is made as accurate as clocks with modern technology. You can clearly see the numbers that represent minutes. Just imagine, isn't it a perfect little device to evoke romantic feeling? After all, I also want to mention that the ancient methods can be very useful source for our designs.
