The Sundial is one of the earliest time-keeping instruments and exists today as a symbol of the fleeting nature of time. These interesting pieces of history remind us that the measure of time has always been important and time itself is a gift.
Inspired by moon phase complications on mechanical watches and clocks, a cut-out window displays a striking blue lapis backdrop reminiscent of the night sky with pyrite stars. A beautiful combination of both art and science, the sundial illustrates the relationship between the passing of time and the Earth's rotation.
Sundials are often inscribed with “mottos” such as the ones below, reminding us that time is precious.
“Take the gifts of this hour”
“Use the hours, don’t count them”
