Clocks are not based off of sundials. While both measure time, they do so in different ways. A sundial uses the position of the sun to tell time, while a clock uses a system of gears and wheels to keep track of time.
A sundial can tell you what direction you are facing by the position of the shadow cast on the sundial. The sundial will have markings that show you which way is north, south, east, and west.
A sundial is a device that tells time by the position of the Sun. It can be placed on any horizontal surface that faces the Sun.
A sundial is a device that uses the position of the sun to tell time. It consists of a gnomon, which is a vertical rod or post, and a horizontal base with markings that indicate hours. Sundials work by casting a shadow on the markings, and the position of the shadow tells what time it is. Sundials work year-round, but only during daylight hours. In the northern hemisphere, the sun is highest in the sky during the summer, so the sundial will cast a longer shadow then. In the winter, the sun is lower in the sky

I had to buy this watch three times because it was so incredible! The leather straps are exactly wonderful, with just the appropriate width measurements, and the pointer thing is quite robust. The watch is stylish and a great conversation starter. It is also not overly bulky. Additionally, the watch's look when the sun shines on it reminds me of a charming courtyard.

This handcrafted, solid, hefty brass compass/sundial is gorgeous, tough, and extremely well made. It is constructed similarly to a pocket watch. It performs admirably. The compass and sun dial are both functional. This gorgeous piece of equipment was really neatly wrapped and came in flawless condition. Its leather case is expertly crafted from high-quality, durable leather. There are only five employees at the little company that manufactures these. Their use of metal reveals that they are true artists. Each component is expertly crafted by hand from robust, long-lasting brass.The process is as follows:1. Lay this Sundial/Compass out in the sun on a level surface. I set it down on a picnic table outside.2. Simply press the button that resembles a watch winder. The top, which is spring-loaded, will open.3. When the compass needle is pointing toward the North mark on the inside of the sundial/compass, turn it.4. Gently close the top of the sundial/compass to prevent turning it and shifting the North setting.5. Now, gently raise the Sundial arm so that it is straight up. (Alternatively, you could raise the sun dial arm before opening the top.)6. Look for the sundial arm's shadow on the dial's face. The time of day is indicated by the number that the shadow sets on. For instance, if the sundial arm's shadow is covering the Roman numeral for two (II) on the dial's face, it is two o'clock in the afternoon. In case you don't know the Roman numbers, I is one, II is two, III is three, IV is four, V is five, VI is six, VII is seven, VIII is eight, IX is nine, X is ten, XI is eleven, and XII is twelve. (It doesn't work at night, no sun you know.)A small bonus item was included with the Compass, along with a thoughtful note from the creator thanking you for purchasing his creation and providing information about the small business.This item is lovely and ideal for display due to its antique appearance, or it may be used for hiking, camping, metal detecting, etc. because to its excellent construction and toughness.I heartily endorse this product.

I don't dislike ANYTHING about this piece. Two brass plates and an inside liner are included with the wooden box (Front ext and top int). Another can be found on the sundial itself. The brass was a little tarnished (as brass usually becomes over time), but this was nothing a simple remedy couldn't fix. I like that the three knobs on the legs can be turned to different heights if you want to set it up flat for exhibition (out of the box). With the turn of a tension knob on its underside, the compass becomes completely functioning. The entire work has a nostalgic quality to it. Great for a child leaving for college, a first-year anniversary, or just for decoration. No remorse here! fantastic acquisition

No, a sundial does not work at night.
To read a sundial clock, you need to find the hour hand and align it with the sun. The hour hand will cast a shadow on the dial, and the number that the shadow falls on is the time.
The oldest sundial on record is from an Egyptian tomb dating back to around 1500 BCE. However, it is possible that earlier examples existed but have not been discovered or documented. Sundials were used in a variety of cultures around the world and were often very elaborate and ornate.
A sundial is a device that tells time by the position of the Sun. A clock is a device that tells time by the movement of its internal parts.
The sundial clock is a device that tells time by the position of the sun. It is a very old invention, and one of the most accurate ways to tell time. The sundial clock is accurate because it uses the sun, which is a very reliable source of time. The sundial clock is also accurate because it is not affected by things like the wind or the rain.
A shadow clock is a type of sundial that uses the shadow of an object to show the time. The object is usually a rod or a triangular plate, and the shadow is cast on a dial or a paper plate. The dial is marked with the hours, and the shadow moves around the dial as the sun moves across the sky.
