Original Kilburg Geochron Global Time Indicator - Original Kilburg
The Geochron Global Time Indicator is the only instrument of its kind to simultaneously show time and displays the extent of daylight and darkness throughout the world. For this reason, Geochron has become the time indicator of choice for anyone whose personal or professional interests lie beyond the borders of where they live. It also indicates the current season everywhere in the world, duration of daylight, the sun's meridian passage, legal zonetime, Greenwich Mean Time and much more. conditions.

Features WHY CONVENTIONAL CLOCKS ARE OUT OF TIME.

As technology continues to advance and the concept of a "global economy" gains more and more acceptance, it becomes increasingly necessary to know, or at least to be aware of, the time in other parts of the world.

For more globally-minded people it is even more critical to know the hours of daylight throughout the world.

Yet even the most advanced clocks of today are merely time indicators, devoid of any other vital information. That is, except for the Geochron.

THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY.

In addition to providing you the time anywhere in the world (not to mention a refresher course in geography), the Geochron also communicates important, constantly-changing information not available from any other source.

As a result of its simultaneous, horizontal, and vertical movement, the sun button describes a figure eight pattern, crossing the "mean noon" four times. The pattern is called the "analemma."

As you can see from the photos on this page, this sunlight distribution pattern changes perpetually, as days and seasons progress. 24 HOURS. 40 TIME ZONES. You probable already know how the earth is divided into 24 "standard" time zones. But did you know about the 16 additional "non-standard" time zones?

Don't worry. The Geochron has them all covered, all year long -- even during periods of daylight-savings time.

What's more, the map on every single Geochron is designed to reflect changes in the world order (for example, the unification of Germany, the breakup of the former Soviet Union).

The Original Kilburg Geochron features a minute analog, in the upper right hand corner, to make it even more precise.

HOW TO TELL TIME WITH GEOCHRON.

What about those non-standard zones we just mentioned? Simple. Those non-standard and pocketed zones have boundaries that do not extend to an arrow. Instead, they're marked with a letter and a number. The letter, derived from international radio call letters, tells you which arrow of the Geochron to read, while the number shows the number of minutes the region deviates from standard time. For example, the designation of India is E + 30, which means you add 30 minutes to the time you read on the E pointer.

You've just completed the most difficult calculation of international time a Geochron owner ever has to compute. Congratulations.

WHAT DAY IS IT, ANYWAY?

Reading the date and day of the week is a snap with Geochron. Since the map is moving from left to right, the International Dateline crosses the frame once each day. The days, date and month observed on either side of the Dateline are each displayed via indicators mounted at the Geochron's bottom.

Geochron Models and Standard Finishes

Geochron is available in four (4) models. Each model can be customized or upgraded to your specifications (see options). The Standard Geochron is our entry level unit. It is available in a choice of nine (9) laminate finishes and three (3) trim colors.

The Original Kilburg Geochron includes the Minute Analog feature that reflects the exact minutes after the hour. It is offered in the same laminate finish and trim colors as the Standard Geochron.

The Executive Model Geochron is laminated with a real wood finish. A choice of nine (9) finishes is offered. It includes a matching counter top display stand with polished brass fittings. It also can be wall or flush mounted.

The Boardroom Model is our "top of the line" Geochron. It is a bit larger in size (36" x 24" x 5") and looks best if "flush mounted" into the wall. Flush Mounting Brackets are included. This model can be customized to match the wood decor of your home or office at no extra charge (wood species, stain and lacquer details required).

Each model Geochron is available in a choice of electrical configurations. Please specify 110/60, 110/50, 220/50 or 220/60 when ordering. Also, the correct plug configuration can be supplied if you indicate the country where the Geochron will be used.
