Astrolabium in bronze with a mahogany finish is a highly accurate quartz regulated astronomical clock. It features a month and Zodiac disc alongside a sun, moon and earth ball. The dial is round with an exquisite laser cut center pattern. Through the visible, highly intricate gear train system, the clock reproduces the annual orbit of the earth around the sun, with the earth rotating on its own axis and the moon rotating every 29.5 days. In the course of the year the earth travels around all 12 Zodiac signs, months and individual days which are indicated on the brass dial. The crystal dome is hand blown and may therefore contain minor irregularities, which is characteristic for this kind of production.
