Navitron Steampunk Wrist Compass and Sundial relives the romance of Victorian era

 Prasad:

Wristwatches may have become obsolete with clocks in cellphones and other reminder services in smartphones allowing people to keep track of time. But just in case you miss the old fashioned way of telling time, the Navitron Steampunk Wrist Compass and Sundial is just want you need. We agree that the sundial bit is a little too archaic a way to tell time but it could be just as much as the Cuckoo Bird Clocks and other Victorian/ Georgian/ Edwardian era clocks with automation.

The antique-y looking, the Navitron Steampunk Wrist Compass and Sundial comes with all the modern amenities that you would expect in any other plastic and stainless steel timepiece. For a compact look, the Navitron Steampunk Wrist Compass and Sundial fold flat including the angular latitude arm and the sundial to make it less bulky while it sits on your wrist.

The unique timepiece comes with a brown leather strap that gives the watch a heavy-duty yet adventurous look while a compass with locking button, latitude finder and a sundial allow you to navigate through the world just like adventurers of the yore did. Sure it won't give you a step by step audio feedback when you're trying to get to a particular location in a city like New York, but the antique brass construction of the Navitron Steampunk Wrist Compass and Sundial will surely help you score a lot of pretty blonds in pubs around the world when you tell them that you're a time traveler and have made it the jump from the late 1800s into the new millennium and don't know your way around the future earth!
