They are one of the earliest ways people invented to tell time: a slanted stick which casts its shadow on the ground and, depending on the position of the shadow, shows what time is it. Is there more to this primitive and universal item? Yes, and it's the Undial Sundial Time Projector: in terms of design, materials used (transparent acrylic and brass), and the way the time is displayed (in words laser engraved on the tube), this is a very modern and novel approach to a very old idea.
The Undial Sundial Time Projector comes in five models depending on the Northern Hemisphere latitude (see below for more information on which is the right model for your location). On its tube, the hours are etched in words (one, two, three, etc.). When light hits it, it projects the hour onto your tabletop, hence the "undial" part of its name, since it really doesn't use a dial. If you're looking for a unique clock that won't need batteries or tuning, and will also work as a great conversation starter, this is it!
