Description
Introducing a charming brass sundial, elegantly encased in a portable wooden case. This exquisite timekeeping device is inspired by the design of Peter Dollond, a celebrated 18th-century instrument maker known for his significant contributions to the optical field.
The original sundial can be found in the London Science Museum. Such instruments were invaluable for explorers and navigators, providing them with the means to accurately tell time regardless of their location around the globe. With a gnomon that can be adjusted to match the latitude using a user-friendly sliding scale, this sundial allows for precise timekeeping. Additionally, it comes equipped with a magnetic compass at its base for easy orientation. The adjustable legs ensure that the sundial can be positioned upright for optimal functionality.
It comes packaged in a compact box that measures 4 inches square and 2.5 inches tall.
