Hermle ASTRO Mechanical Tellurium Table Clock 23046000352, Nickel

Solid metal fins intersect to form the frame of this Tellurium clock for a sleek look. This Modern Design Tellurium with a mechanical Westminster chime movement reproduces the annual orbit of the Earth around the sun, with the earth rotating on its own axis every 24 hours. The sun, month and individual days are indicated on the brass discs. 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 12 zodiac signs, months and individual days which are indicated on the flat disc. 8-day spring wound movement with 4/4 Westminster chime on 4 polished bells. Separate second feature, 11 jewel deadbeat Swiss escapement. Polished brass disc has milled zodiac signs and rosettes in addition to the months and days of the year. Features automatic night shut-off and second hand dial so as not to disturb anyone's slumber.
