Measuring the passage of time in relation to the movement of the sun was always the dream of astronomers in ancient times. Our pewter sundial can measure, with some precision, the time of almost all European cities regardless of their latitude. In the second half of the 17th century, the use of this instrument was considerably widespread among travellers and merchants. This device preserves the charm of measuring the passage of time, entrusting it to the movement of the sun.
