Craftmanship

The Kala family has been making precision pocket sundials for 20 years in Austria.
Only one batch is produced each year, with every third sundial fully disassembled and checked to ensure quality.

Precision

Read the time anywhere in the world. The three dimensions work together like clock-work, bringing ancient calculations into a modern function.
Once setup, the sundial is a model of our planet with the bridge parallel to the earth's axis. It can thus be used as a precise compass too.

Uniqueness

Sundials were mentioned in early texts across all religions. They have been used to tell the time and navigate throughout modern history.
Sometimes they are an excuse to enjoy a sunny moment, Sometimes they are simply a reminder of the past. But one thing is for sure: the gift of true time is never wasted.
