About Geochron Standard World Clock, Black Goatskin With
New for 2017 - Improved Dura Drive motor system / 3 year warranty on motors / Universal power supply with a USA Plug. The Standard Geochron World Clock is the only mechanical world clock ever made showing the sunlight pattern on the earth in real time. With a 6 square foot backlit museum-quality lithograph map that moves; the Geochron Standard is a stunning conversation piece with a variety of finishes to fit any décor. Follow the seasons, months, days and seconds - with 300 moving parts. Hand-made in Portland, Oregon, and installed in the White House Situation Room. A precision work of art, the Geochron is entirely mechanical. No computers, no circuit boards and true to its original design for 50 years, the Geochron is a mechanical timepiece of over three hundred moving components to create the finest global clock in the world. It is the only mechanical geographic chronometer made today. Geochron is located in Portland, Oregon, and all Geochron world clocks are handmade to order to deliver the high quality that is expected of the same Geochrons installed at the White House, the European Space Agency, NASA, the Jet Propulsion Lab and the 135 installations in the Pentagon. A visual feast of terrestrial movement, the fully mechanical Geochron shows in real time: • Legal time zones in 12 or 24 hour formats • Greenwich Mean time • Local Apparent time • Moment of sunrise • Moment of sunset • Duration of daylight • Sun's meridian passage • Sun's equation of time (Analemma) • Degrees of latitude and longitude • Month, Day, Hour in every time zone. At 2x3 ft. in size, the Geochron displays global time and the sun's daylight pattern on Earth in real-time as it continually rises and sets on a high quality lithographic map that is driven from left to right by mechanical servos in sync with the rotation of the earth. The Standard Geochron is different from the Kilburg and Boardroom. It does not include a minute dial in the upper right hand corner.
