Hermle Tellurium III 22948-Q10352 Astronomical Clock

Quite possibly.... the finest clock ever made.
Known as a "Grand Complication" for the immense complexity of the German mechanical movement which not only tells the time of day, month and date but also the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. A hand-crafted Antique walnut case is hinged with both front and rear opening doors. The months are clearly marked as well with individual cast metal zodiac symbols according to that time of the year The removable glass dome has hand-cut star patterns cut into the glass. A traditional white enamel clock face features Roman numerals and filigree clock hands.
• The Earth travels around the sun every 365 days.

This extraordinary clock uses an 11 jewel, key-wound quarter-hour Westminster chime movement where the chimes are played on 4 polished bells with an 11 jewel escapement. Automatic night shut-off may be actuated for the chimes so they may silence between 10:00 PM through 7:00 AM.
