Browse our lovely range of nautical compasses! All handmade from brass with traditional designs incorporated in the detail.
All of our compasses are reliable, functional and make a wonderful gift for those who still enjoy traditional time pieces. Made with hand crafted quality materials.
The sundial works by opening the pivoted vane on the top of the sundial and set it vertical then move the scale piece on the side which shows the line of latitude (you can find your line of latitude on google maps and clicking on your area then the latitude degrees will show on the curser).
Release the needle on the compass by the slider on the side, the pin will rotate round until the pin settles at north on the compass, move the compass around to align, a shadow from the vane will show the time on a sunny day onto the dial.
The item is made of cast brass, highly polished to a mirror finish with a glass window. Folds down for ease. A beautiful showpiece!
Please see my other listings for other compasses and padlocks.
Size of the compass closed:-
