Multiple Time Zone World Clock Map: A visual feast of terrestrial movement.
At 2x3 ft. in size, the three hundred moving parts in the Geochron display global time and the sun’s daylight pattern on Earth in real-time as it continually rises and sets on a high quality lithographic map that is driven from left to right by mechanical servos in sync with the rotation of the earth. Like the Earth, the sun never sets on the Geochron.
At the same time, the Sun’s Terminator Line mechanically morphs minute by minute, showing the seasons passing through the Northern and Southern hemispheres at exactly the same aspect as the earth’s 23.4 degree axial tilt.

Introducing the most radical improvement to the Geochron in 50 years: Dura Drive. The Dura Drive is a new hardware update for the motors, gears, and linkages that run the Geochron.
All new clocks and rebuilds after November 2016 will be fitted with the Dura Drive, and come with a three year warranty on the drive train itself.
