context_page_description: Christoph Schissler was a German builder of high precision scientific instruments.
context_section_description: His professional life was largely spent in Augsburg where he made navigational instruments such as astrolabes, quadrants, and armillary spheres. He also invented a portable sundial that adjusted  to operate on different latitudes between England and Italy.
  In 1571 Schissler travelled to the court of Augustus of Saxony in Dresden and in 1583, to the court of Rudolf II in Prague.
  In his later years he focused on mapping and surveying Augsburg. He had his own specialist workshop, where his son Hans Christoff would later continue his work.
