Almagest is unique; an astronomical clock and tabletop planetarium. It tracks and displays the movements of the planets as they move across the sky.
Functioning in clock mode Almagest shows a three-dimensional view of the current position of the planets, as they appear to us on Earth. As a reference instrument, the clock shows the position of the planets at any time or place between 1,000 BC and 5,000 AD.
Just enter any time and date from the past or the future and your chosen location on Earth and watch and wonder! The brass wheels start to turn and the planets move into position.
Housed in a glass dome, Almagest features an intricate pattern of gears, all hand assembled from polished brass. It is a clock, an astrological tool, an astronomers reference, a beautiful ornament, the ultimate conversation piece and a testament to finest British craftsmanship.
