    A quiet way to count down

    Candles have been used to mark time for centuries, with lines on the wax for each hour. This candle does the same for any length, and it never drips on the table.

    The gentle flicker gives your eyes something calm to rest on, which suits meditation, bedtime reading and quiet work.
