Description
The solar ring is a timeless and practical instrument for measuring time, boasting a history of nearly 400 years. Originally invented in the 15th century by Peuerbach and Regiomontanus, this device—commonly known as the farmer’s ring—was widely used by rural populations until the 19th century for simple and reliable timekeeping based on the Sun's position.
The modern HELIOS Solar Ring I pays tribute to its historical predecessor, combining functional precision with elegant design. Beyond its role as a sundial, it serves as a stylish piece of jewelry that can be worn either as a pendant on a rubber strap or as a ring on your finger. This sundial displays true solar time, also known as local apparent time (LAT), and is calibrated for a latitude of 50°N. Crafted from brushed stainless steel, it features a rotatable aperture ring available in polished stainless steel, gold-plated steel, or 18kt real gold. The date and hour scales are laser-engraved for accuracy and durability.
