Attention, my pretties, it appears that the Wicked Witch of the West’s iconic hourglass has found a new home.
The signature Wizard of Oz prop recently sold for 495,000. Heritage Auctions, a organization that’s known for auctioning off collectibles, described it as the “most famous and recognizable timepiece in film history.”
The piece played a central role in the movie, with which the Wicked Witch threatens Dorothy, saying with the hourglass in hand, “You see that? That’s how much longer you’ve got to be alive! And it isn’t long, my pretty! it isn’t long! I can’t wait forever to get those shoes!”
Over the course of the scene, the camera zooms in on the hourglass and shows that Dorothy’s friends, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, are running out of time to save her from the Wicked Witch.

Universal Pictures has been working on a feature film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical "Wicked" since 2004. At various points in time, people like J.J. Abrams, James Mangold, Ryan Murphy, and Rob Marshall were linked to the movie, but award-winning director Stephen Daldry of "Billy Elliot" and "The Crown" fame ended up in the director's chair in 2012. However, with plenty of false starts over the past 18 years, the filmmaker exited the Emerald City in 2020 over schedule conflicts. Finally, the ball officially got rolling on the "Wizard of Oz" reimagining in 2021 when "Crazy Rich Asians" and "In the Heights" director Jon M. Chu boarded the project.
