Cannon Dial, by Victor Chevalier, 1843
Cannon dials (or 'time guns' as they were occasionally known) were popular since the 18th century. A burning glass mounted above the plate would receive the sun's rays at noon, so providing the heat to light the fuse at the end of the miniature cannon, causing it to fire and thus provide a signal for midday.
Larger examples were also used in Dockyards and Garrisons to indicate the time of noon.
