Description

This may result in transit times of more than 30 days. Due to its easy handling and practical format, the solar ring is a widely used time measuring instrument, which looks back on an almost 400 year success story. Invented and developed in the 15th century by Peuerbach and Regiomontanus, the solar ring -also called the farmer’s ring- was used amongst the rural population up until the 19th century for simple time reading by the Sun. The new HELIOS Solar Ring is an homage to its historical role model, perfection in functionality and design. And even more, the sundial is a piece of jewellery which can be worn either around your neck on the rubber strap or on your finger. The sundial displays local apparent time (LAT). Latitude 50°N. The model is made of brushed stainless steel with a rotatable polished stainless steel aperture ring. Engraved date scale and a laser-marked hour scale.
