MessageIt is an interesting realisation, but is it not just a vertical dial with the night hours added, and the style carried through beyond the plane of the dial plate, for 'artistic' effect? I agree the Braille/Morse/??? dots are a puzzle, though.

Does anyone know about this dial? I would be interested in what some of you think is really going on here, since this is a pretty unique configuration.
