How apropos for the summer solstice: As Consumating reported earlier, the Stonehenge Watch by Sharpe Production of New Jersey is an exact replica, scaled-down of course, of the five-millennia old English monument that will tell you the time based on the position of the sun.

By flipping open the pocket watch-style case, a compass on one side helps you position the mini-monument on the other to tell the time of day, time of year and exact moment of seasonal changes.

The product comes in silver or gold for $42.95.
