When you own a Geochron, you'll have much more than a timepiece. You'll be in possession of a totally handcrafted, yet functional piece of art. Something that generates not only conversation, but inspiration.
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.)
While most timepieces merely keep the time, there is one considered to be ahead of its time. The Geochron Global Time Indicator.
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 from the photos on this page, 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?
Don't worry. The Geochron has them all covered, all year long -- even during periods of daylight-savings time.
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).
The Original Kilburg Geochron features a minute analog, in the upper right hand corner, to make it even more precise.
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.
