(http://batonline.com/renonciat/instalat/cadran.htm) I agree. They should converge at a point high up, where the gnomon axis intersects their vertical plane. The sculpture looks like a giant folding pocket sundial on steroids, complete with a movable alidade reminiscent of P&G heliochronometers. The gnomon looks set for approximately 50 degrees latitude, whereas the alidade appears tilted for about a 20 degree latitude. So there appears to be quite a bit of art here, not entirely intended to tell the time.
