I’m stoked by the Solar Dial face on my iWatch.
Shows time of nautical and civil dawn and dusk, sun rise and set, length of day, and time before and after those various events.
- perilunar 4y agoThat's partly the inspiration for this. I don't have an iWatch but wanted something similar for my phone and desktop. Good article on the Solar Face: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-eerie-beauty-of-the-apple-watch-solar-face-and-the-anatomy-of-nightfall https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-eerie-beauty-of-the-ap... I also wanted to do an elliptical horizon like astronomical clocks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_clock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_clock), but did the "simplest thing that works" first.
- wrycoder 4y agoI love this kind of thing. I’m looking forward to your next version!
- cormullion 4y agoGreat work! There's a long history of similar dials listed at https://24hourtime.info/ https://24hourtime.info/ - perhaps yours can be added there!
