The shadow rod of the Polaris table sundial is parallel to the Earth's axis, so that the sun appears to revolve around it as the Earth rotates. The shadow of the rod clearly shows you where the sun is currently located on the world map.
And of course you can also read the time. With the Polaris sundial, you have a choice: you can display the natural solar time or our modern time valid in time zones. You can read Central European Time (CET/CEST) or any other time zone in the world. The built-in worldmaps of the northern and southern hemispheres, each with 24 time zones, and the rotating time ring make the Polaris a universal solar chronometer.
Some features:
- Equatorial sundial with display of CET/CEST or solar time and the global position of the sun on the integrated worldmaps.
- For locations in the latitude range 35°-70°N and 35°-70°S.
- High-quality materials: stainless steel, plexiglass and Optical HC (lens material).
