Reproduction of a compass-solar clock in aged brass of the type that Christopher Columbus would have used.
The compass opened the world of exploration and discoveries. In the 13th century before JC, the Chinese already used the principle of the magnetic needle. Used for the first time by feng shui priests to indicate where and how to build. The Chinese sailors adapt it to navigation, towards the year 1000, in order to keep the course. The Arabs perfect it by mounting it on an axis. It arrives in Europe between the 10th and 11th centuries, allowing navigators to cross the oceans and explorers to discover the continents. The first instrument that resembles the one that currently exists is due to the Portuguese Ferrande (1483).
