Urania Propitia Compass Sundial

For centuries, humankind has been fascinated with scientific discovery – from the early astronomical breakthroughs of Galileo Galilei, to modern advancements in digital technology. This brass Compass Sundial is modelled off the astronomical compendiums popular in Cunitz’s time, and features a fold out gnomon sundial that rests above a compass – simply point the compass towards north, and the gnomon will cast a shadow on the face of the sundial to tell the time. Elegantly crafted and exquisitely detailed, this piece is truly a collectable worth treasuring.
