Cool Sundial Ring

Was Looking at the NOMOS website today and came across this Sundial ring.
Pretty cool idea, was thinking of picking one up.

Data

Movement: NOMOS caliber (stainless steel with date indication ring)

Diameter: 19 mm (inside)

Height: 10 mm

Power reserve: forever (as long as the sun shines)

Characteristics: can be worn either on your finger or with a leather string around your neck


This is how it works:
1. Position the sundial so the sun shines
onto it.
2. Set the correct date in the middle
ring on the hole.
3. Let the sundial hang freely from the
thread, with the hole towards the sun.
4. A ray of sun on the inside of the ring
shows the correct time.

They only have the ring in a Glashutte , Madrid and New York version interestingly enough so it is a limited market indeed.
