I've noticed that some people have hourglasses on their reading tables.

For those who aren't professional but want to go professional shortly, it would be a good way to practice getting a sense of how long a reading of a certain time would be and a way of getting used to being conscious of the timer.
For those who aren't professionals and have no intention of ever being professional, I guess they just want it for looks?
