Orbitarium

MM 800 703 00 - 10" dia. x 10"

The oldest existing devices which illustrate the motion of the earth around the sun were produced by the Dutchman Willem Jansszoon Blaeu (1571-1638). This modern example reproduces the orbits of the first six planets of our Solar System.

This astrological device is completely mechanical and it actually takes the model of Saturn more than 27 years to make its complete revolution. The skeletonized movement is entirely made by hand in England in limited production.

This is one of the few known to be extant in the United States.

This timepiece also has a readout near the bottom for hours and minutes and it comes complete with a hand-blown glass dome.The Orbitarium is by K. Mozer.
