ASTRO

A tellurion (also spelled tellurian,tellurium, and yet another name is loxocosm), is a clock, typically of French or Swiss origin, surmounted by a mechanism that depicts how day, night, and the seasons are caused by the rotation and orientation of Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun.Our fascination with celestial bodies is as old as time and has most certainly intensified as centuries have gone by. The Hermle Astro is the perfect collector’s gift item and/or for anyone with an interest in astronomy and the movements of the earth and moon in relation to the sun.

This Tellurium clock is made out of solid mental fins intersect to form the frame of this clock for a sleek look.Features a milled rosette rondeau which shows the 12 printed signs of the zodiac on a unique turned dial

Track the position of the Earth as it moves through the Solar System throughout the calendar year, complete with zodiac. Mechanical movement features Westminster chimes.

Mechanical movement accurately reproduces the annual orbit of the earth around the sun, with the earth rotating on its own axis every twenty four hours. The moon, in turn, revolves around the earth in 29.5 days completing a full rotation around its axis. This allows the reproduction of the different moon phases as they are visible from earth. In the course of one year, the earth passes all twelve zodiac signs, months and individual days which are indicated on the flat disc. Eight-day spring wound movement with Westminster chime on 4 polished bells. 11 jewel deadbeat escapement. Polished nickel disc has milled zodiac signs and rosettes in addition to the months and days of the year. Reproductions of the sun, earth and moon incorporating the day/month indicator.
