| It's present on some watches too. In the comic strip "B.C.," they
wore sundials on their wrists. In real life, you can wear a moondial.

| When we bought a long case clock with one, it was described by an
horologist as a 'moon-dial'.

| Moon-dial kinda sounds like Mundial (in spanish pronounced Moon Dee
Ahhl) which has more to do with the earth than the moon, "worldwide".

Oh, I wouldn't want to cause confusion then, so let's call it Earth-dial.
