Helios Sundials
"Carlo Heller's sundial is a precision instrument, sensational, aesthetically pleasing, weather-proof and handcrafted in an unusually loving fashion: It brings a totally new perspective to the ancient idea of time measurement via the earth's orbit of the sun."
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) writes about the HELIOS Subsolaris and its inventor on 4 September 2001. Until today Helios e.K. offers you an exclusive range of accurate sundials with modern design.

Sundials literature
The most famous German literature about sundials is written by Arnold Zenkert (1923-2013). Harald Grenzhäuser writes about him:
"Arnold Zenkert was a teacher that you wish to have for your children: lovable, understanding, helpful, humble and an excellent expert in gnomonics with a lot of experience."
