Sundials have silently marked the earth’s rotations around the sun and the passing of time for centuries. Reflecting light and colour, their gentle sculptural forms enhance any garden landscape. They can also bring memories and sentiments to life, with personal inscriptions or words of inspiration. Border Sundials makes every sundial and armillary sphere by hand, engraving the customer’s chosen words before engineering each one to tell the time accurately wherever it will be placed in the world. The company creates eye-catching armillary spheres in brass and stainless steel (as seen here), as well as horizontal and vertical sundials of all sizes and materials. Additions can be made to each sphere, such as an arrow or tropic and polar rings, at an extra cost and larger versions can be made to order.
£7,800 / €9,915 / $11,230 for a 100cm stainless steel sphere
