Astrolabium by Hermle

 


The Astrolabium has a solid wood base mahogany finish with a polished brass plate and crystal dome.  The dial is round with Roman numerals and features an exquisite laser cut center pattern.  The highly accurate quartz regulated astrolabium has a month and zodiac disc and a sun, moon and earth ball.  Through the visible highly intricate gear train system the astrolabium clock 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 brass disc.

This is a 'must-have' for that curious science aficionado!

Measures 11 1/4" tall and 8 1/4" in diameter.
