Own the first Nocturnal ever that can tell the time at night at any location in either the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere using the fixed stars visible in the night sky Produced in collaboration with designer Tony Sprent in Tasmania to utilise Polaris in the Northern Hemisphere and multiple celestial bodies in the Southern Hemisphere (Alpha and Beta Centauri, plus the Southern Cross) Measures just 60mm / 2.36 inches in diameter, fitting easily in your pocket and meeting the international sizing standard for pocket watches Will remain accurate for many years because the variation in the direct ascension varies very little over the course of centuries, making it a truly long-lived instrument Solid brass construction, with every Universal Pocket Nocturnal carefully hand-checked to ensure quality Produced to Kala's designs & exacting standards in a small family workshop outside of Madrid, Spain Sometimes they are an excuse to just enjoy a beautiful night sky, sometimes they are simply a reminder of the past. But one thing is for sure: the gift of true time is never wasted. Produced in a small workshop outside Madrid, Spain, this carefully crafted instrument measures just 60 mm (approximately 2 inches) in diameter and meets international sizing standards for pocket watches. Made of solid brass, the Kala Universal Pocket Nocturnal is a contemporary take on historical models. The Universal Pocket Nocturnal is a star clock used to determine the time at night using fixed stars visible in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres—Polaris in the Northern Hemisphere and Alpha & Beta Centauri, plus the Southern Cross, in the Southern Hemisphere. Nocturnals have been used for many centuries but this one is totally unique and the first ever Universal Pocket Nocturnal. Produced in collaboration with designer Tony Sprent in Tasmania it utilises Polaris in the Northern Hemisphere and multiple celestial bodies in the Southern Hemisphere (Alpha and Beta Centauri, plus the Southern Cross) to tell the time. This charming instrument will remain operationally accurate for many years because the variation in the direct ascension varies very little over the course of centuries, making it a truly long-lived instrument and unique gift.
