Original Kilburg models feature seven vinyl laminate finishes.There are also upgraded contemporary finishes including Polished and Brushed Stainless Steel, Black,Gold and SilverAnodized aluminium, and High-gloss Black,White and Silver powder coat.  Also available are real wood veneer panels with a square-edge trim.

Original Kilburg upgraded wood panels are meticulously crafted by an accomplished custom cabinet maker.  While we always use the same process and finishes, wood colors naturally vary.  Cherry and Mahogany woods naturally darken with age, particularly with UV exposure.  This is part of the charm and beauty of real wood.

Before ordering a Geochron,there are a just few decisions to be made:

1.Model

3.Trim colour - Black,Gold or Silver.
4.12 or 24 hour time band along the top of the map.
A machine will then be hand made to your requirements.Your machine will be wired for a  220V/50HZ Australian power supply and plug into a standard Australian power point.

General information:

The Geochron indicates where the sun is shining at any given moment. How? Via the illuminated pattern on the world map. The left edge of this pattern marks the moment of sunrise, while the right marks sunset. This sunrise and sunset pattern changes continually, as the seasons progress throughout the year. (For you trivia buffs, this feature of the Geochron also displays the winter solstice, summer solstice, and the fall and spring equinoxes each year.)

The Geochron is the only instrument of its kind to simultaneously show time and display the extent of daylight and darkness throughout the world.

With one quick glance, the Geochron tells you the current time anywhere in the world. It also displays where the sun is rising, as well as when it will set. What's more, it indicates the current season everywhere in the world.

THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY.

In addition to providing you the time anywhere in the world (not to mention a refresher course in geography), the Geochron also communicates important, constantly-changing information not available from any other source.

As a result of its simultaneous, horizontal, and vertical movement, the sun button describes a figure eight pattern, crossing the "mean noon" four times. The pattern is called the "analemma."

As you can see  this sunlight distribution pattern changes perpetually, as days and seasons progress.

24 HOURS. 40 TIME ZONES.

You probable already know how the earth is divided into 24 "standard" time zones. But did you know about the 16 additional "non-standard" time zones?

What's more, the map on every single Geochron we make is designed to reflect changes in the world order (for example the breakup of the former Soviet Union).

HOW TO TELL TIME WITH GEOCHRON.

What about those non-standard zones we just mentioned? Simple. Those non-standard and pocketed zones have boundaries that do not extend to an arrow. Instead, they're marked with a letter and a number.

The letter, derived from international radio call letters, tells you which arrow of the Geochron to read, while the number shows the number of minutes the region deviates from standard time. For example, the designation of India is E + 30, which means you add 30 minutes to the time you read on the E pointer.

WHAT DAY IS IT, ANYWAY?

Reading the date and day of the week is a snap with Geochron. Since the map is moving from left to right, the International Dateline crosses the frame once each day. The days, date and month observed on either side of the Dateline are each displayed via indicators mounted at the Geochron's bottom.
