Stunning shack addition Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had my Geochron Executive model clock for 2 years now. It is the neatest thing. The quiet synchronous motors keep exacting time. It stays within 20 seconds +/- of my atomic clock. Kind of spendy, but makes any ham shack look more like a board room. There is software out there that will do the same thing essentially...but by no means is the same. Run out of things to buy for the shack? Want an unusual conversation piece? This is the ticket.

The software version is terrific Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased the software version of the geochron world clock. First, it only cost $50, but more importantly, the software version does things that the $1100 wall version could only dream of doing. You can select up to 7 or 8 different types of maps (or rotate them on your screen) with internet downloads of land temperature, cloud cover, ocean temp, etc. This software is cool!

You can select cities all over the world to keep track of time, and on and on.

I recently gave a talk using my laptop to a local QCWA chapter, and my world clock software (as screen saver) was a bigger hit than the talk!

Geochron Time Owned: more than 12 months.
No transistors, no CPU, just a synchronous motor, a coupe of lamps, moving shades and a world map. This is a classy device that tells time any place in the world while providing a nice map to look at. The map, which is an endless mylar loop, moves relative to a simulation of the sun on the globe, during the summer the light is projected in a U shape, winter an inverted U, the picture of my unit was shot during equinox so the lines are more or less vertical. Great for gray line propagation. It’s not cheap though and there are several share-ware computer programs that do the same thing. Sure looks classy though!

I’ve had it running for five years now and not had a single bit of trouble with it.
