Called
"The last significant contribution in time keeping" by the Smithsonian
Institute, the Geochron simultaneously shows the time, daylight,
and darkness throughout the world. Geochrons have adorned the
offices and boardrooms of many multinational Fortune 1000 companies,
and the homes of celebrities and dignitaries including John Lennon,
General Norman Schwarzkopf, Shirley Temple Black, and Ronald Reagan.
In fact, President Reagan gave Mikail Gorbachev a Geochron as
"an example of American ingenuity." As the world's first global
time indicator, the Geochron shows the exact moment of sunrise
and sunset. The mercator projection world map is precisely synchronized
with the earth's rotation to move slowly from left to right 365
days per year, just as the earth does. Experience the fascination
of watching as the seasons automatically change and the sun gradually
shifts in its zenith position and then follows its natural path
(the analemma). This gradual change causes the light pattern to
slowly change to reflect the longer and shorter days here on earth.
In addition to precision time keeping, the museum quality Geochron
also depicts the month, day, and time at any point on the earth.
The Geochron can be hung, recessed in the wall, or set on a matching
display stand, and plugs into a standard wall outlet. (A choice
of currents are available for many countries.) The Geochron map
is reproduced in part from Chronaflex positives of the U.S. Naval
Oceanographic Chart #1262. Legal time zone information is based
on data from the U.S. Department of Defense Mapping Time Zone
Chart #76. Geochrons are available in several finishes, including
leather or several woods. Dimensions: 36" x 24" x 4 1/2".
