DA VINCI SUNDIAL
Da Vinci sundial. Beautiful horizontal sundial, recreation of those used during the 16th and 17th centuries and whose originals are in prestigious museums such as the Oxford Science Museum or the Greenwich Maritime Museum.
The decoration of its sundial stands out for its special filigree, as well as the compass rose that is engraved on its cover.
The quadrant, as was traditional in its time, is prepared to work in various latitudes. We adapt the appropriate gnomon for the latitude from which you place your order.
The compass it carries is one of the so-called “floating compasses”, which consists of a plate on which the compass rose is inscribed, which always indicates the magnetic North.
It is made of wood polished with natural waxes and the metal material is an alloy (zinc and copper) called zamac, which has great resistance and stability against changes in humidity and heat and does not require any type of maintenance.
It comes in a wooden box with nautical decorations, which makes it a perfect presentation for a perfect gift. We also send with the watch a small booklet with the history of the sundial and its instructions for use.
