Diameter 2 x Height 5 inch - Since the dawn of civilization humans have tried to organize the day by the motion of the sun, moon, and stars. Shadow clocks, later named sundials, were invented by Greeks and Romans and used by explorers during our age of discovery. The sundial played a fundamental role in finding local time. Watches were notoriously unreliable and often needed to be reset by using sun-time.

Before the age of mechanical clocks, sundials of various kinds were used throughout the ages to determine the time of day. This type of sundial was often called a Shepherd's sundial, as they were commonly used in to track the hour during long days out in the pasture. It uses the sun's height to measure the time, with the gnomon (the pointy thing) being rotated to the correct month. The illustration is a recreation of engraving called "The frontispiece", by Frederik Hendrik van der Hove dated to 1650. It depicts the muse of astronomy Urania, surrounded by major known astronomers: Tycho Brahe, Nicolas Copernicus, Ptolemy, Galileo Galilei and the King of Castile Alfonso X the Wise. Made of wood, brass, and paper. Includes a booklet with its history and how to use. Dimensions: 10" x 2" Made in Spain.

A horizontal sundial consists of one dial plate, marked off in hours, and the gnomon which sits on the noon line and projects out from the dial plate. In order to tell the correct local time, the gnomon must be parallel with the Earth's axis, or, in other words, that it should point towards the celestial pole. In the northern hemisphere, this means, for practical purposes, that the gnomon should point at the Pole Star. The chief advantages of the horizontal sundial are that it is easy to read, and the sun lights the face throughout the year. All the hour-lines intersect at the point where the gnomon's style crosses the horizontal plane. Since the style is aligned with the Earth's rotational axis, the style points true North and its angle with the horizontal equals the sundial's geographical latitude. Made of wood and brass, this historically accurate sundial, based off an original in the Naval Museum of Madrid, features a compass and beautifully printed sundial faces. The exterior cover is topped with a brass plate depicting the magnetic astrolabe of Athanasius Kircher. The perfect item for those with the spirit of discovery.
