What is a Geochron?
Geochron is a world clock of exceptional format, an impressive and fascinating electromechanical work of art that meets the highest quality standards. Geochron not only shows you the exact time, but also the date, day of the week, summer and winter time, and sunrise and sunset at any location in the world. Geochron can be easily integrated into any environment and offers an exclusive look. Geochron is particularly suitable for prestigious locations such as banks, hotels, travel agencies, offices or your home.
Geochron is hung like a flat screen. It can be easily mounted on the wall or, with the optional wall mounting kit, recessed into the wall. Power consumption is extremely low. Geochron is available in various designs. The outer housing is available in various plastic designs, modern painted or anodised aluminium and stainless steel versions or with elegant real wood veneer finishes.
Each Geochron world clock is manufactured individually according to your requirements. Customised outer casings (e.g. leather) are available at any time – make your Geochron a unique piece!
Geochron in detail:
What distinguishes this watch from all other watches in the world? Unlike conventional watches, which only show the time in one place, the Geochron world time clock shows the correct time everywhere. You can actually watch the Geochron world clock move! The areas where it is day or night are constantly changing, completing a full cycle every 24 hours, and with the seasons, a gradual change takes place. And all this in vibrant colours.
Would you like to know what time it is in Los Angeles, Tokyo or Sydney? Or whether the sun has already risen in Spain? Or what geographical longitude Namibia is located at? Or how long a day lasts in Mexico, where it is currently day and where it is night on Earth... With a Geochron world clock, all this is no problem.
Thousands of Geochron world clocks can be found all over the world in a wide variety of companies and businesses. A Geochron world clock is an attractive, eye-catching addition to any office, reception area, foyer, boardroom or home. The Geochron world clock looks like a framed map.
In this day and age, when we travel around the world by plane, use the Internet and state-of-the-art computer technology, and at a time when international connections are very important, more and more people want to know what time it is in other places. Governments, international business people, banks, insurance companies, hotels, airlines and educational institutions are just a few of those who have recognised the important information provided by the Geochron world clock. One of the most fascinating features of the Geochron world clock is that it automatically shows which places on Earth are currently in daylight or darkness at the moment you look at the map. You can see the sun rise, reach its zenith and set. The days of the week and the days of the month at a given moment are also displayed.
The Mercator projection map of the Geochron world clock moves slowly from left to right under the glass cover at a speed of 2.5 cm per hour. It completes the cycle in 24 hours, just like the Earth. It is always noon along the red geographical longitude in the centre of the map. This makes the clock easy to read, because it is always morning on the left side and afternoon on the right side. The left edge of the day/night shadow line indicates when the sun rises, and the right edge indicates when the sun sets. With a Geochron world clock, you avoid the confusion caused by time conversion factors, the international date line and the question of morning or afternoon that you have with a 12-hour clock. With the Geochron world clock, you can see the time around the world at a glance.
The Geochron world clock not only provides an overview of the current time worldwide, but can also be adjusted manually to determine, for example, sunrise and sunset and the hours of daylight at any location on a date in the future. By following the zenith position of the sun, you can plan holidays and long-distance trips so that you are travelling at the most favourable time of year.
Who is Geochron for?
Thousands of Geochron world clocks can be found all over the world in a wide variety of companies and businesses. Many airports, museums and observatories around the world, as well as doctors' surgeries, law firms and conference rooms, already own one of these valuable instruments. Geochron can be easily integrated into any environment and offers an exclusive look. Geochron is particularly suitable for prestigious locations such as banks, hotels, travel agencies, offices or your home. A Geochron world clock is also an ideal promotional gift for companies.
For example, the Geochron world clock was presented as an official gift by the then US President Reagan to the then Russian President Gorbachev. The Geochron hangs in most official buildings, including the United Nations building in New York. In addition, it has been featured in countless television, film and photo shoots as an impressive and representative object.
