It's Time Everywhere
A Masterpiece. A Timepiece.
The Geochron continues to be a symbol of quality precision engineering for more than fifty years.
Premium Mapsets
Since 2018, the Premium mapset has the best features of our Topographical and Geopolitical maps, showing the contours of the Oceans and Geopolitical spectrum of countries. The great mountain ranges of the sea are shown along side the peaks upon the land.
A Premium mapset will show:
- Ocean topography
- A brighter appearance with deeper colors
- Oceanic and human geographic datapoints like major shipwrecks, coral reefs, nuclear disasters, and spaceports.
- These are the mapsets used in our Geochron Digital 4k.
The premium mapset comes with an updated world map that combines the ocean topography with the land. Deep blue ocean trenches contrast with the deserts and mountains of our geopolitical map, with greater depth and color than ever before. They are printed on dye sublimated Lexan, cured by laser lightwave, and developed in a dark room with a six foot bath. It is the best print available for projects that are backlit by LED lights, like ours.
From 2022, we now only produce new clocks with the Premium mapsets. Each Geochron has three maps.
Each Geochron has three maps
The Geochron’s mapset has three maps spliced together in a six feet loops that winds through the clock.
Until 2015, the Geochron had only been built around a Geopolitical map spliced together. Now, every restoration and new clock clock has a combination mapset as shown above. Every third day, the clock will display a topographical mapset.
The Topographical mapset shows the earth like “view from the sky”. Indeed, the satellite imagery composited into an entire map of the world is stunning. Compared to the human view, this is the Earth of the last 10,000 years, with several dozen large cities shown for reference. The muted contours of the ocean bottom are visible too in this map.
Our premium mapsets combine the contours of the ocean with the topography or geopolitical details of the land, and are several orders of magnitude deeper in colour and depth.
Premium mapsets
Geochron now offers a premium mapset for all restorations and non-vinyl clocks. The premium mapset comes with an updated world map that combines the ocean topography with the land. Deep blue ocean trenches contrast with the deserts and mountains of our geopolitical map, with greater depth and color than ever before. They are printed on dye sublimated Lexan, cured by laser lightwave, and developed in a dark room with a six foot bath. It is the best print available for projects that are backlit by LED lights, like ours.
A Geochron Premium Mapset Example
The picture below is a splice between a standard geopolitical map panel and a standard topographical map panel, making a combination mapset. A Premium mapset has no splice.
