Digital Sundials International

In a singular blend of artistry and utility, the digital sundial combines the ancient science of sundials and advances of modern technology with elegant simplicity. Like a digital clock, the digital sundial displays the current time using digits. In the true tradition of all sundials, the device is purely passive - it operates without electricity, and has no moving parts. Instead, the sunlight is cast through two cleverly designed masks in the shape of numbers that show the current time of day. The sundial is available in two versions, for use in either hemisphere. Placed on the inside of a south-facing window (north-facing in the southern hemisphere), the sundial can be read through the horizontal mirror. The display updates every 10 minutes, and gives a remarkably accurate record of the time during the daylight hours.

Digital as in digits. I suppose it’s really an analog-digital hybrid. Unfortunately, it’s digital precision is +- 5 minutes. Which is sad, becuase analog (solar) clocks are only limited by precision of scale. Still, SCP approves and will buy one for our bunker.
