Description: Stanley London Kala Pocket Sundial | Precision Made in Austria | Brass Sun Watch Tells Solar Time Anywhere in The World Item Description About this item Made of solid brass and steel with artisan black ink coating - for a reassuring weight. NOTE: Black ink is applied, but not everywhere so as to give an antique, old world feel to the instrument 60 mm / 2.36 inches diameter, Fully assembled weight: 40 grams Includes 10 language instruction manual Comes with an organic cork inlay and an elegant white slider case The outer and inner rings can be folded together for easy transport Only one batch is produced each year, with every third sundial fully disassembled and checked to ensure quality Read the time anywhere in the world. The three dimensions work together like clock-work, bringing ancient calculations into a modern function. Made out of solid brass and steel, the Kala Pocket Sundial is a contemporary take on a historical model - the original can be found at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It 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. The result is surprising accuracy estimated by experts to be consistently better than +/- 10 minutes vs. the true solar time! Further, once setup, the sundial is a model of our planet too with the bridge parallel to the earth's axis, and it can thus be used as a precise compass - making a truly versatile instrument. As a family of Austrian watchmakers we have spent 23 years crafting the design of this solid brass and steel equatorial ring pocket sundial in the same purpose-built factory near Graz in Austria - and are proud to say that, because it measures just 60mm in diameter, it meets the official international sizing standard for pocket watches.
