Sundial Compass Watch

Look what I've got here. D'you know I can tell you what time is it? Watch! Just let me point this arrow to the north, aaand... it is almost six in the evening. We've got one more hour to spare before we have hide from the Darkness.

Description


I believe that I would not be able to describe it better than this lovely person. So here you have an article from the local newspaper instead of my uninteresting rambling.

Created in the age of rebirth by a wise yet ordinary man Theodorr Goedrine son of Anset himself, this special watch is the first and last of its kind. Some time after the creation of compass and a lot longer after the first sun clock this rare item could have been the next favourite of thee novelty. But the master didn't make it for the money and didn't intend to sell it at all. He said, and I quote:

"I will carry this secret to my grave, either by protecting it from greedy beings or by protecting it from the mighty life and death."

Such statement will not be left forgotten and will not be destroyed by no man.

The watch is made from two parts, the compass and the sun clock.
As this is the one and only sun watch and the creator was no watchmaker or anything else, the compass is nothing more than an ordinary compass that Theodorr Goedrine had lying around. It is a typical one with an openable cap on top.
The other part consists of a folding stick that shows the shadow of the sun when opened and the dial engraved into the sides of the compass.

Honestly, if there was a moment when Theodorr wasn't watching me during our meeting, I would probably steel it. I mean, come on, who wouldn't huh? I guess the only inconvinience I could find is that it is worthless at night. But everyone sleeps during those times so who cares.

Use


If manufactured it would become an everyday item to carry with you. But as I have the only piece, I will tell you just how I use it myself.
Mostly I use it when traveling to be able to plan ut my day. It is easy and quick-use so it doesn't bother me what so ever. To be honest, I get some strange looks when I use it in public but most of the times it just seems like a casual compass so I don't have to worry so much. When at my hometown, I have used it a couple of times to show off to my friends or family. You wouldn't think, but guessing time in a matter of few flaps of fly's wings, and not just like "Oh, it's a midday or it's afternoon..." but literally saying "It is half past three", is very impressive.

Not that it could be harmful or dangerous or something, but I really hope that it won't end up in bad hands. That would upset me badly. Even after the Servants of Destiny take me with them. I am by soul connected with it, I will feel its presence till the end of light. It is my precious masterpiece.



As you see there is a page missing here –––>

That's right. I had a prototype sketch of my lovely little sun watch right on that page. I ripped it of, burned it, mixed the ash with flour to make a bread and ate it all by myself. I would never let anyone else use that sketch to recreate my masterpiece. I hope that that is clear as the sky after the rain. Otherwise, good luck trying to find the real watch. If you somehow find it, I will visit you and bow before you deeply. Than I'll very delicately and slowly torture you until you die. This watch will always be mine and no one elses.
