Description
This solid brass sundial compass finished in a sophisticated black antique patina, it exudes an air of historical exploration, making it more than just an instrument, it’s a conversation starter and a link to traditional navigation methods.
Mastering Sun and Magnetism:
- Dual Functionality: Seamlessly integrates a classic foldable sundial for time-telling using the sun’s shadow with a fully functional magnetic compass for accurate directional guidance.
- Precision Aids: Features a built-in Water Level vial to ensure the instrument is perfectly horizontal for accurate sundial readings, and a Needle Stop Screw Switch to lock and protect the compass needle during transit or when not in use.
- Authentic Antique Styling: Boasts detailed engravings, Roman numerals on the sundial’s chapter ring and latitude arc, and “Gilbert & Sons London” insignia, all accentuated by the rich black antique brass finish.
- Durable Brass Construction: Expertly crafted from solid brass, providing a satisfying weight, lasting durability, and an authentic vintage aesthetic that will be cherished for years.
- Articulated Gnomon & Sights: The sundial’s gnomon (the triangular piece that casts the shadow) and sighting vane are hinged, allowing them to fold flat for compact storage or a sleeker profile when the sundial feature is not actively being used.
Perfect For:
- Adding a sophisticated touch of vintage scientific or nautical charm to executive desks, studies, libraries, or curated display cabinets.
- Collectors of antique scientific instruments, sundials, compasses, finely crafted brassware, or unique historical replicas.
- A thoughtful and distinctive gift for history buffs, astronomers, surveyors, maritime enthusiasts, adventurers, or anyone who appreciates intricate craftsmanship and timeless design.
- Educational purposes, beautifully demonstrating the ancient principles of telling time by the sun and traditional magnetic navigation.
