Spot-on Sundial in Stainless Steel
It is exactly noon by
the sun, and the unique line of light appears for five minutes
to tell you so.
An interesting dial which gives excellent
reflections in the mirror-finished stainless steel, and, with the contrasting
matt circle on which the hour lines are shown, gives the appearance of
"floating on air"
There are now four
models of our Spot-On stainless steel sundials, measuring 42, 30, 24 and
15 cm. square. The 42, 30 and 24 cm. models are individually designed
for their specific location. The gnomon angle is identical to the angle
of the latitude at the intended location; the engraving in the lower part
of the dialplate is to the customer's specific requirements. (We can suggest
alternatives for consideration).

of the 15 cm. square model, designed specifically for very small gardens,
patios, or balconies, click

Note the clear shadow on the
matt dialplate, and the crisp reflection of sky and surroundings
on the mirror-polished surface
The 55 and 42 cm. square Spot On sundials in stainless
steel are designed for the forecourts of offices and public buildings,
for public open spaces, and for the larger garden.
These
elegant and robust dials incorporate the split gnomon, so that every
day at solar noon a line of light will shine through the gnomon
along the noon line. The dial plate with 10 minute lines and 5 minute
spots is matt, to ensure a really sharp shadow. The remainder of
the dial plate and the sides of the gnomon are mirror-finished.
This gives rise to some interesting reflections, both of the sky
above and the near side of the matt dial plate, so that the gnomon
from some angles appears to be suspended in space.
There
is a space for special engraving in the 8 x 34 panel at the foot
of the dial- plate - the engraving can incorporate mottoes, dedications,
and information about the sundial, according to the choice of the
client. Price £860 plus £20 p& p UK mainland This price does
not include the plinth - the Queen Anne plinth illustrated from
Haddonstone in Northamptonshire (01604 770711). Similar plinths
are also offered by Redwood Stone in Somerset (01749 677777)

These stainless
sundials was designed by Piers Nicholson and incorporates the split
gnomon which gives the "line of light" at every noon time. This
feature makes the Spot-On Sundials easy to set up accurately to
true North, and thus to read the time to the nearest couple of minutes.
