You could make a kosher sun dial but it wouldn’t be as accurate. We are used to paying close attention to minutes and seconds, and a sundial might be accurate withing five or ten minutes at best. That is why they disappeared and were replaced with clocks. Not to mention that sundials never worked at night or when it was cloudy.
