I may be missing something, but I think the only way it could actually work
is to use solar power to run software that would contain a standard
time-keeping chip along with software to translate the time and date into a
pseudo-sundial display, which would probably have to use the same technology
as the Kindle uses for it to be visible in sunlight. It would be way cool
and I would love to have one but it would not really be a sundial. In fact,
you could run it off a lithium battery instead of sunlight and it would even
work work at night.

Hi all
I saw the presentation of the wrist watch reported by Darek and I realized
the watch is on sale in an italian watch shop, it is one of the most
important watch shop in Italy and it is in Milan where I live.
The watch is called 'Diana', it is a project of an italian designer, Tommaso
Ceschi, it is produced only for this shop of Milan.
I call Pisa (the watch shop) to have other info, the director explained me
that at the moment it is a concept. The project had been presented during
'Salone del Mobile' on april, the Design Week in Milan, and the project of
this watch was supported by Pisa.
The watch may become an object on sale but at the moment it isn't sure and
they don't know wich kind of functions might have the watch.
Design Week report the watch won some awards but it might show the time with
a digital led display visible when switched on.
It is an interesting idea but probably it will not become what we imagine.
ciao Fabio
