This dial is on house number 25 in the street facing the river in Cervières. The dial dates from 1839 and is signed by Zarbula.
The dial shows hour and halfhour lines from 7 am to 5 pm. In red the line of teh equinoxes is shown with the sign of the balances.
The motto of the dial is “sans le soleil je ne suis rien et toi sans dieu ne peut rien”, which translates to “without sun I am nothing and you can do anything without god”. At the bottom there is a second motto: Forte Tue, may the Force be with you.
The dial shows a trompe l’oeil distinctive for Zarbula. He has signed the dial with his initials GZF in the bottom right corner. In the bottom left corner one can see the initials WEFG, but I do not know what they mean.
