Yep. The "swoop" will reverse in the summer when the earth's orientation, relative to the sun, changes. There is also a time of year when the lines that represent sunlight will be straight.

What do you consider reasonable, I would think that sporty.com the pilot shop might have something like that or the discovery store.

red - It's a GeoChron. I got it from a reseller that sells them cheaper than the factory, but the GeoChron site is better for checking it out.

And pounding urine samples is a fine NYEve tradition. Didn't you know? Go do it right now or you will have a $hitty year!

I haven't taken it apart, but there are several screens that are in motion as the clock operates. I'll let you know more about the change of seasons transition when I see it.
