Hello Bruno,

The style gives a line of shadow.
This line intersects the date circles ( or other shaped date lines )
Find the intersectionpoint of the line of shadow and the proper date circle.
At that point the time is read.

Interpolate between the hourlines if that point isn't just on a hourline.

That's all to use such dials.

Best, Fer.
