MADE IN GERMANY – The Liebenstein Sauna Hourglass is a handcrafted product, manufactured in Germany under strict quality standards. Built for high heat resistance, it is designed specifically for sauna environments.

PRECISION & ACCURACY – Each hourglass is rigorously tested under real sauna conditions and carefully calibrated for maximum accuracy. With fail-safe construction and minimal tolerances, it ensures consistent and reliable 15-minute runtimes.

Every Fischer instrument comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. But here’s the truth: these are modern heirlooms, engineered in Germany to last a lifetime. Issues are rare (we hardly ever see them).

And if something does happen? Cameron, our founder, runs theofficial Fischer service centre right here. If he can’t fix it (spoiler: he usually can), Fischer will. Either way, you’re covered.

Bottom line: you’re buying peace of mind, not just a weather instrument.
