About Sextant Navigation

A pre-1900 marine sextant rendered as an interface: solid brass graduated to a hair's width, seated in a mahogany case lined with near-black velvet. The whole system lives in the warm patina of aged gold catching light against deep wood and shadow.

Every surface is the toolcraft of finding your position by the stars — engraved arc scales, fine angle ticks, radial vernier detail, and the dense star-table columns that the instrument was useless without.
