The world’s finest t imepiece
tells more than just t ime.
James Kilburg was a mechanical engineer
from Luxembourg who developed
his craft and ingenuity according to
European tradition.
In America, Kilburg
devoted his life to
creating innovations
such as the car
cigarette lighter and
the first automatic
dialing telephone.
His crowning achievement, however,
came from an idea he had when visiting
family back in Luxembourg. His wife
Dorothy, who had stayed home, decided
to call him one day. The international
operator assured Mrs. Kilburg it was
daytime in Luxembourg.
Unfortunately for Mr. Kilburg and his
hosts, it was really 2:00 a.m. That call
inspired Kilburg to develop the world’s
first accurate global timepiece, and in
1963, Geochron was born.
Kilburg, and then his son, ran Geochron
until 2007, when it moved to Portland,
Oregon, where Geochrons continue to
be handcrafted.
Today, Geochrons stand as a striking
and timeful centerpiece in the homes
and offices of international political and
business leaders as well as discerning
individuals who recognize and appreciate
their striking beauty, function and quality.

The Geochron® World Clock.
{It also tells the world something about you.}
They have adorned the offices of the world’s largest organizations.
The walls of private yachts and aircraft. The homes of the wealthy. They
are the prized possession of discerning individuals who need to know
more than just the local time.
Handmade in the United States, each Geochron is a moving masterpiece.
It shows you at a glance the current time of the world — every country
and city — within a mesmerizing display of the progression of daylight
around the Earth.
A Geochron is your world view of day and night, the precise time, the
date and day of the week — even the solstices and equinoxes. All without
a single digital component. Each clock is carefully crafted and calibrated
for unparalleled accuracy and precision.
Beautiful, unique, pristine and of the highest quality, a Geochron is
much more than a clock. You’ll be the owner of what the Smithsonian
Institution calls “the last significant contribution in time keeping.”
Map – Each world map is made
using state-of-the-art lithographic
printing designed to ensure the
map’s vibrancy and sharpness for
the lifetime of the clock.
Analemma – Allows you to follow
the track of the sun by degrees of
latitude and its position relative to
the equinoxes and the northern and
southern solstice points.
Day of week band – Find the day
of the week in any region by using
this band along with the map’s
international date line.
Time scale – The “watch” of the
timepiece. As the map rotates, numbers
reveal the corresponding time in each
of 40 time zones.
Minute dial – (Optional) Offers
the time to the minute in any
city in the world.
Terminator line – Displays
true moment of sunrise and
sunset worldwide.
Calendar – More than just a calendar,
this feature allows you to determine
time of sunset/sunrise for any date,
present or future.
