In this talk a general non-relativistic operational model for quantum
clocks called quantum hourglass is devised. Taking results from the field
of Quantum Information Theory the limitations of such time measurement
devices are explored in different physical and information-theoretic
scenarios. It will be shown for certain cases that the time resolution of
the quantum hourglass is limited by its power consumption.
