Spot-on Sundial in Stainless Steel

It is exactly noon by the sun, and the unique line of light appears for five minutes to tell you so.

Stainless Sundial showing the unique "line of light" at noon

An interesting dial which gives excellent reflections in the mirror-finished stainless steel, and, with the contrasting matt circle on which the hour lines are shown, gives the appearance of "floating on air"

There are now four models of our Spot-On stainless steel sundials, measuring 42, 30, 24 and 15 cm. square. The 42, 30 and 24 cm. models are individually designed for their specific location. The gnomon angle is identical to the angle of the latitude at the intended location; the engraving in the lower part of the dialplate is to the customer's specific requirements. (We can suggest alternatives for consideration).

Commemorative sundial with elaborate personalised engraving

The 55 and 42 cm. square Spot On sundials in stainless steel are designed for the forecourts of offices and public buildings, for public open spaces, and for the larger garden.

Georgian plinth for a stainless Spot-On sundialThese elegant and robust dials incorporate the split gnomon, so that every day at solar noon a line of light will shine through the gnomon along the noon line. The dial plate with 10 minute lines and 5 minute spots is matt, to ensure a really sharp shadow. The remainder of the dial plate and the sides of the gnomon are mirror-finished. This gives rise to some interesting reflections, both of the sky above and the near side of the matt dial plate, so that the gnomon from some angles appears to be suspended in space.

Plenty of space for commemorative inscriptionsThere is a space for special engraving in the 8 x 34 panel at the foot of the dial- plate - the engraving can incorporate mottoes, dedications, and information about the sundial, according to the choice of the client. Price £860 plus £20 p& p UK mainland This price does not include the plinth - the Queen Anne plinth illustrated from Haddonstone in Northamptonshire (01604 770711). Similar plinths are also offered by Redwood Stone in Somerset (01749 677777)
