A truly breathtakingly beautiful instrument, this Astrolabium is a classy and elegant, yet functional, conversation piece. The concept was developed in the 18th Century by Phillipp Matthaus Hahn to record all aspects of celestial time.
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 astrolabium has a solid wood base mahogany finish with a polished brass plate and crystal glass dome. The dial is round with Roman Numerals and features an exquisite laser cut center pattern.
The astrolabium comes with complete directions on calibrating it to your precise location. The solid brass mechanisms are designed to give you a lifetime of trustworthy service.
