Kala Pocket Sundial

Although sundials have been around for a very long time, they never worked across latitudes until around 500 years ago.

At that time the Universal Equinoctial Ring Sundial - the inspiration for our sundial - began to be used by a new wave of sailors, explorers and travellers.

Our sundial tells the true solar time anywhere in the world because the Sun's angle to the equatorial plane takes different values over the course of the year, and the small hole mask in the centre of the sundial is adjustable, plus set to the date.

Once set up it is also a model of our planet with the bridge parallel to the earth's axis, so it can thus be used as a precise compass too!

Features

Tells the true solar time anywhere in the world using just the power of the sun, achieving surprising accuracy estimated by experts to be better than +/- 10 minutes!

Crafted by our family of watchmakers for over 25 years in the same small workshop near Graz in Austria!
Measures just 60mm / 2.36 inches in diameter, fitting easily in your pocket and meeting the international sizing standard for pocket watches too!
Solid brass & steel construction, with artisan black ink and every third sundial fully disassembled & checked to ensure quality!
Inspired by the historic Universal Equinoctial Ring Sundial, currently on display at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich!
Can also be used as a precise compass once set up, making a truly versatile instrument!

Attractive and Functional

Very well made. Useful, if brief, instruction leaflet. Attractive as an ornament, functional as a sundial (about 10-15 minute precision) and solar compass.
