‘And yet it moves!’ Galileo Galilei is said to have muttered when he was forced by the Holy Inquisition to renounce the Copernican view of the world. Galilei was right – today we know beyond doubt that the Earth revolves around the Sun and rotates on an axis pointing towards the North Star (Polaris). This is exactly where the gnomon of our POLARIS sundial points. The shadow of the gnomon shows where the sun is currently located on the world map. It also gives you the exact standard time of your contry, even summer time (daylight saving time).
High-quality stainless steel and acrylic glass construction, the POLARIS with its amazingly simple principle is a fascinating eye-catcher for outdoor areas or sunny indoor spaces.
