Sundials are not just for the garden any
more!
- The Spectra sundial is an indoor
custom sundial and functional handcrafted art piece that is designed
to be placed indoors on a table by a sunny window or directly
on a window sill and enjoyed year round. Unique among sundials,
the Spectra sundial earns its name by producing vivid
prism beams throughout the day, flooding the room with intense
rainbow color as it uses the sun to chart the rhythm of the seasons
and accurately tell the time of day. As the sun moves across
the sky, the Spectra sundial creates a slow motion parade of
dramatic rainbow colors moving through the room, sometimes three
large brilliant spectrum beams at a time. A Spectra sundial in
the window makes a colorful statement in the room!

- The Spectra sundial makes a perfect
personalized anniversary gift, unique wedding gift idea, or exceptional
birthday gift when customized with a special
inscription and date line of the special event - then every
year the anniversary day will become an extra special day, because
the sun and earth will align on that date each year to make the
time shadow follow the corresponding date line on this special
anniversary sundial. A unique "moment
mark" can even be added to the special date line in
some cases to celebrate the actual moment in time that the couple
was married!
-
- Every Spectra sundial is individually
calculated, designed and created for each new owner, and meticulously
handmade to order and signed
by its designer and maker Jim Tallman, making each Spectra sundial
a truly unique one-of-a-kind sculptural piece and perfect personalized
gift idea for "the person who has everything." In addition
to accurately telling
the time of day to within minutes, the Spectra sundial is
able to provide custom anniversary date lines that the time shadow
will follow on the special day each year - because it is specifically
calculated for its location and designed for its recipients,
unlike most mass produced online or garden center sundials. Each
of these distinctive beveled glass sun clocks is a truly exquisite
custom made indoor sun sculpture and perfect decoration for a
sunny space...an exclusive upscale interior accent that adds
a delightfully
colorful sense of energy to any room.
