Step into the world of precision timekeeping and artisan craftsmanship with the Original Kilburg Geochron, a mechanical world clock unlike any other. With its brushed stainless steel façade, rotating topographical world map, and complex yet intuitive functionality, this is not just a timepiece—it’s a conversation starter, an executive showpiece, and a work of functional art.
Whether you're in a boardroom, observatory, aviation hub, or simply an admirer of time and space, the Geochron brings the Earth’s natural rhythm into view—right from your wall.
🕰️ What Is a Geochron?
The Geochron is a mechanically driven world map clock that rotates in perfect synchrony with Earth’s 24-hour cycle. Measuring just under one metre across, it displays the current time in every time zone at once, alongside dynamic information such as sunrise, sunset, and the solar terminator (the moving line dividing day from night across the globe).
The topographical mapset vividly represents global terrain—mountains, rivers, and elevations are rendered in beautiful colour relief across all continents, providing not just time, but context.
