🌍 A Masterpiece of Precision, Craftsmanship, and Global Awareness

The Original Kilburg Geochron is far more than a clock. It is the only mechanical timepiece in the world that simultaneously displays the legal time, sunrise and sunset, solar position, and daylight hours across the globe—all in real time.

A captivating fusion of engineering, cartography, and design, the Geochron presents the Earth’s rotation and global time zones on a beautifully printed and continuously moving geopolitical world map. Set within a sleek frame, this iconic wall-mounted instrument is as much a work of art as it is a highly sophisticated timekeeping device.

What Does the Geochron Display?

At a glance, the Geochron provides:

• Legal time in all global zones

• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and Greenwich Apparent Time

• Sunrise and sunset moments around the world

• Duration of daylight by region

• Sun’s meridian passage and equation of time

• Degrees of latitude and longitude for precise location referencing

• Time zone boundaries overlaid on a geopolitical world map

All time zones are clearly marked with dark blue demarcations and labelled with corresponding international shortwave radio call sign prefixes. This level of detail makes the Geochron an invaluable resource for aviation enthusiasts, educators, world travellers, and anyone with a passion for geography or horology.

🛠️ How It Works

At its core, the Geochron features a slowly rotating belt drive powered by a precision electric clock motor. As Earth rotates, the belt moves synchronously, keeping perfect time with the planet’s daily cycle.

• The map scrolls left to right, revealing the shifting daylight and shadow.

• A time band along the top shows the current hour at every longitude.

• A moving terminator line displays real-time sunlight and twilight zones.

🖼️ Designed for Presence

Measuring 870 mm x 570 mm, the Geochron is ideal for:

• Executive offices

• Study rooms and libraries

• Aviation lounges and air traffic control centres

• Boardrooms and briefing spaces

• Classrooms and STEM labs

Despite its mechanical complexity, it is built to be simple to operate and maintain, requiring only occasional cleaning and no ongoing calibration.

Customised to Your Specifications

Each Geochron is hand-assembled to order by skilled craftspeople. When placing your order, you’ll be prompted to select:

1. Trim Colour
