Octagonal sundial and compass - H06
The octagonal sundial and compass is a treat for collectors of technical relics. The present model is a replica of an instrument used in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is both a sundial and a compass - this combination was great for navigation, determining directions and determining solar time.
The compass's wind rose is based on the rumb system, once widely used in maritime navigation. A rumb is a measure of angle obtained by dividing a circle into 32 parts. One rumb = 11.25°.
The sundial with compass in an unusual octagonal shape will prove to be an interesting decoration for the study or office. It will be a unique gift for a traveler, navigator and nautical enthusiast. A fantastic gift for a collector of technical relics.
