Alvin Sher is a sculptor from Connecticut who has "created sculptures using imaginary architectural elements for twenty-five years. The sculptures have dealt with mythic and scientific issues, using architectural forms as a vehicle. The subjects of the works range from temples and labyrinths to observatories and sundials; they are all metaphors for human curiosity and searching."  His stainless steel sculptures such as "Primum Mobile" illustrated here is beautiful, but not quite a sundial, or at least a useful sundial for the latitude of placement.  His works are so close to being wonderful time-telling objects.

Chet Roberts of Ohio makes horizontal sundials specifically for your location from cast aluminum.  He designs the dials using computer aided drawing (CAD), and personalizes them with the inscription and background silhouette of your choice.  Dials weigh about 3 pounds and are 10 inches in diameter.  Please check his website for current pricing.  You receive the dial plate and dial gnomon, which are easily assembled into your personalized sundial.

This is a wonderful site to explore the ancient world of astrolabes.  James Morrison offers The Personal Astrolable, accurately calculated for your latitude and longitude.  As Morrison explains, "The purpose of The Personal Astrolabe is to draw people into the history of astronomy by offering a fully functional astrolabe at an affordable price.  We feel strongly that cost should never be a barrier to education.  We have shipped over 6,200 astrolabes to 60 countries since its introduction.  We are proud that many, if not most, of the astrolabes we have made are the first ones ever made for their location.  It is possible that more people have become familiar with astrolabes through The Personal Astrolabe and The Electric Astrolabe than all previous publications combined."
