Habermel's design is elegant and was made while instrument maker to Emperor Rudolf II in Prague fom 1593 until his death on the15th of November 1606., His dial is rotated on a string until the gnomon shadow falls on the circular date line, and time is obtained by reading the corresponding shadow to a nearly straight hour line. This dial is much easier to use than the ring dial except that this dial must be made for a specific latitude.
