The Celestial Navigator's Chronometer

The Celestial Navigator's Chronometer

$159.99

My dear, never rely solely on a compass and map when navigating the skies. True command of the aether requires knowing your position among the stars. This incredible device marries celestial knowledge with earthly mechanics.

I first saw the designs for this type of clock while visiting an astronomical society in Kyoto. The Japanese inventors were attempting to map the subtle shifts in the aether, and they required a timepiece that could track both earthly time and the movement of the stars. This instrument is a beautiful, functional fusion of astronomical science and mechanical art.

This striking piece of wall art and timekeeping is constructed from Cold Cast Bronze, giving it a heavy, antique metallic presence suitable for any airship captain's study.

  • The Main Dial: The central clock face is clearly marked with large Roman numerals and set within a striking bronze ring, making time easy to read, even in the chaos of a gale.

  • The Mechanics: Surrounding the clock are intricate, exposed gear mechanisms in copper, brass, and verdigris finishes. This complex arrangement suggests the clock is calculating far more than just the hour.

  • Scale: This is a commanding piece, measuring 20 ½ inches long by 14 ⅝ inches wide, with a subtle depth of 1 ⅝ inches, perfect for mounting above a mantle or map table.

Mount The Celestial Navigator's Chronometer in a place of honor where its silent, constant turning can remind you to look to the heavens for inspiration. Let it whisper of impossible distances, the precise language of the universe, and the endless quest for discovery.
