You wouldn't have to worry about grit bringing it to a halt and it would still indicate time a thousand years from now I am not sure if a house mainly built from wood would last as long as a Zeitwerk. Those watches are practically immortal. My house is subjected to Tornadoes, Hurricanes and what not. Of course, a sundial would be relevant here in Texas; however I can't wear my house on the wrist.

Speedfrog Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Ok, let’s drift.... A real sundial is built on the ground, not attached to the house. But if you really wanted to.... 1 1 Link to comment

PJPR01 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I have two items from a company called Clocks for Bikes...unfortunately they went out of business a while back. They were nice because they had a nice green backlight when pressed, so not too bright at night. My temp gauge still functions, but the clock required services and I couldn't get it repaired. Currently hunting for something new that fits with a 2002 time piece. No Patek Philippe, Ball or Ulysse Nardin for the Scura however... Link to comment
audiomick Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 How about Jaeger LaCoultre? 1 Link to comment
