Field notes
The site explains that hour lines are calculated for the exact orientation of a client’s façade, and describes polar styles, straight styles with a ball or eyelet, and custom declination curves. Its gallery includes anniversary curves color-coded for parents, children, and grandchildren; a separate list records eight orientation tables completed between 1986 and 2020. Indicative documentation and prices are requested through a contact form rather than shown on the page.
