Portable ring sundial with display of true local time (solar time).
Ring sundials date back to the golden age of sundials (16th - 18th century). This design was also called the queen of sundials because it is the only portable sundial without a compass that can find north and can be used at all latitudes around the world.
The Cielo sundial [Italian for "sky"] is the highest stage of development of the ring sundial, is easier to use and more accurate. It is also a model of the celestial sphere that allows us to understand the origin of time measurement from a cosmic perspective.
Available in palladium or gold. The meridian ring and date ring are made of stainless steel, all scales and the time ring are made of aluminium with scratch-resistant sub-anodised printing.
The ring sundial can be folded for transport and storage and is supplied in a laminated hard cardboard box with PE foam insert.
The oldest timepiece known to mankind, featuring elegant design and precision craftsmanship – these are the sundials from Helios.
