Astronomical Sundial Watch POLARIS
US$276
Qty.:
POLARIS –a model of our world
Once it has been adjusted for its location, the POLARIS takes up the same spatial position as our blue planet. The equator plate is aligned with the celestial equator and the gnomon, which is parallel to the earth’s axis, points towards the celestial pole, close to which you can observe the Polaris (Polar Star) at night. On this vivid model of our world, you can follow the sun’s apparent migration around the earth in real time. The shadow shows you where in the world the sun is in its zenith at this moment in time, where true noon is occurring. As in real life, the sun is positioned in the northern part of the world map during our spring and summer, in autumn and winter the POLARIS’ southern world map is illuminated.
The POLARIS (Ø 120 mm) is created from stainless steel with ceramic laser engraving. The world maps are made of thermally back-coated mineral glass, so that the light resistant pattern is protected from the elements. The sundial is suitable for use outdoors all year round.

POLARIS – for any location in the world
The POLARIS astounds us with its simplicity: the central rod displays the time with its shadow, and also serves as a base with which the equator plate’s tilted position is adjusted for the latitude of the current location. The world map is positioned according to the longitude and the time ring is turned to the time zone. For most Central European countries this will be Central European Time CET or CEST (summer time). The sundial is set initially using a wristwatch and will then always display accurate time for you when the sun is shining.
