Astrolabium Nickel Clock II, Piano Black Finish
|
The highly accurate Astrolabium Clock has a quartz regulated month and zodiac disc and a sun, moon and earth ball. Through the visible highly intricate gear train system, Astrolabium reproduces the annual orbit of the earth around the sun, with the earth rotating around its own axis once in 24 hours and the moon revolves around the earth in 29.5 days, completing a full rotation around its axis. In the course of one year, the earth passes all twelve zodiac signs, months and individual days, which are indicated on the nickel disc. The crystal dome is mouthblown, with charming irregularities that add to the old-world charm of this clock. Runs via alkaline battery.
9" diameter x 12" h.
