Moon Phase Clock In Chrome With White Dial
This is a wonderful gift item, and a beautiful example of mathematical and scientific craftsmanship. The moon phase clock presents the current lunar phase on its face, so that the moon appears to change in the location and style of illumination viewed through the clock's glass face just as it does in the sky.
Viewed from Earth, only 59% of its surface is illuminated by the Sun at any one time; this fraction varies over lunar phases due to the changing orientation of the Moon's orbit with respect to the Sun.
In turn, this varies over the month due to actual orbital motion of the Moon around Earth, causing varying differences in timing of true sunrise and sunset (the "equation of time"). This creates an appearance as if part of the Moon were "missing".
New Moon Phase Clock set in a heavy six inch solid brass case which has been electroplated with chromium and comes with a flat glass(not plastic) front and rubber seal. These are not a mass production product; each one is individually hand made using the thickest brass possible that can be turned by hand. You will not be disappointed with this quality item.
Operated by a Lunar quartz movement which requires 1 AA battery (not supplied).
The clock is suitable for any area, and comes complete with instructions plus interesting information on the different Moon Phases. This is a 'must have' for anyone and would make an ideal gift for any occasion or superb corporate gift We are a small family run business who take pride in making quality products.
6ins Diameter. 2ins Depth. 1.5mm thick brass case.
Please Note.
There are a lot of variables to take into account when tracking the moons orbit of approx. (never exactly) 29.53 days, so the clock may need adjustment.
Handmade In England.
