49. The Kala Pocket Sundial, with Matt Kala
from On the Dogwatch · host Michael R. Canfield
Today On the Dogwatch we have the opportunity to learn about the Kala Pocket Sundial, and to get to know its purveyor, Matt Kala. We go the distance on this episode, and along with learning a bit about Graz and the beauties of Austria, hear the story of how the pocket sundial was inspired by a farmer’s ring and equinoctial device, and how Matt’s family has developed this device into an accessible tool and ideal gift. We spend time discussing how to use the pocket sundial, as well as timekeeping, watches, and health and wellbeing. We even learn about the most recent addition to the lineup, the Kala Nocturnal, a device that helps you tell the real time at night.
