Sundials are not just for the garden any
more!
- The Spectra sundial is an indoor
custom sundial and functional handcrafted fine art timepiece
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 a special moment in time!
-
- 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 or birthday date lines that
the time shadow will follow on the special day each year - because
each Spectra sundial is individually
calculated and designed for its specific location and personalized
for its recipients, unlike most common 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 home decor accent that adds a delightfully
colorful sense of energy to any room.
