More About Compass-Sundial Combo

Imagine standing in the middle of a forest on a breezy cliff top by the sea. You open this solid brass compass, tilt up the gnomon (that little triangle that casts the shadow), and align it with true north. Just like that, you’re not only finding your direction—you’re telling the time using the sun. It’s surprisingly satisfying.

• Authentic Gnomon Design
  The component that helps you tell the time by casting a shadow is the gnomon. When you lift it and tilt it towards the light, it seems like you’re walking into the shoes of an adventurer, even though it folds neatly into the base.

• Engraved Hour Lines
  The sundial plate has etched hour markers, giving you a rough solar time based on your alignment with the sun. It’s a hands-on history lesson that actually works!

• Built-in Magnetic Compass
  The compass helps you align the sundial to true north. Plus, it’s surprisingly accurate and responsive for a vintage-style piece.

• Protractor & Adjustable Legs
  Use the built-in protractor to set your local latitude, and the adjustable legs to stabilize it even on uneven ground. It’s small, but thoughtfully engineered.

• Crafted from Solid Antique Brass
  Feels weighty and solid in the hand. With its warm, aged finish, it looks like something straight from an old captain’s cabin. No two pieces are exactly alike.

So, What’s a Nautical Compass?

A nautical compass was once the heart of every ship’s navigation. With its free-floating magnetized needle and stable housing, it helped sailors find their way even in choppy waters. This push-button version combines that functionality with the charm of old-world design.

And when SinghBros Mart combines a nautical compass with a foldable sundial? You get a pocket-sized tribute to centuries of navigation.

Key Features of the Sundial Compass:

• Portable and Practical – Small enough to carry, yet bold enough to display.

• Functional Vintage Tech – Actually tells time and direction—no batteries needed.

• A Conversation Starter – Perfect for your desk, library, or weekend hike.

• Great for Gifting – A hit with campers, historians, educators, and collectors.

A Quick History Lesson (That You Can Hold)
