Product Description

Charming sextant as used by Victorian explorers and surveyors. Intricate and semi-functional, it has all the pieces needed to shoot the sun. A sextant defined latitude. A clock longitude. Defining the angle of Sun and Stars with the horizon was an important way to navigate and survey. A beautiful, intricate instrument with an interesting and ancient history.

Gift Wrap

The modern gentleman notices the little things, and there is plenty to notice about our Signature Gift Wrap. Smaller items are wrapped in our custom Cigar Boxes, sealed with a replica Import Label that contains your handwritten gift message. Larger orders are wrapped in our gift paper that is custom-printed with a navy b eaded pinstripe pattern evocative of a classic men's suit fabric. Bags and oversized items are wrapped with an elegant 2 1/2" satin ribbon. Our ribbons are tied in square knots and our gift cards are handwritten.
