Diptych Solar Travel Clock in Mahogany Wood "Tempus Fugit" - Italy 1980

An elegant, handcrafted reproduction of an antique travel sundial, known as the "Tempus Fugit Diptych." Crafted from fine mahogany, this instrument is perfect for those who appreciate historical objects and want a unique, functional piece for their collection.

Instructions for use

Using this sundial is simple and fascinating. To determine solar time, open the sundial to a 90° angle and point the compass hand north. The shadow cast by the string on the dial will accurately indicate solar time. Furthermore, if the upper dial features a sliding scale, you can determine the correct time at any latitude, making this instrument not only a decorative piece but also a functional travel companion.

Since this is a vintage item, there are signs of wear, but overall the sundial is in excellent condition and fully functional. A collector's item!
