Greenwich Pocket Sundial And Compass

Inspired by Greenwich, the focal point of world time, this brass pocket sundial is a completely self-contained portable instrument, with a compass for alignment and velvet carry pouch for protection.The gnomon is set for latitudes around 50 degrees North, so will be most accurate in the south of England, northern Europe, Canada and so on. At these latitudes this is a functioning time indicator (in as much as sundials ever were!) diameter 3", height 1".

Made from solid brass, diameter 7cm. Supplied with a velveteen drawstring pouch.



Our range of miniature sundials are completely self-contained portable instruments, inspired by originals now found in Maritime and Science museums the world over. Instruments like these were once used by explorers and navigators to tell the time anywhere in the world. These brass replicas retain most of the original detail features and functioning parts, but are not intended for serious use.
