Ulysses Nardin‘sPlanet Earth clockis a jaw - dropping timekeeper . How can you not feel like a criminal mastermind with an intricate mini universe perched on a reasonably mahogany box sitting atop your desk ?
The out transparent , crystal globe represents Earth , bearing outlines of the continents and oceans . The inner sphere shows at all time the exact location of Sun , Moon and fixed stars in relation back to any emplacement on Earth . So it ’s not really a whole world , but you get the idea . Rotating at the speed of a real mean solar day , one rotation take in 23 hours , 56 minutes and 4 seconds . Separate Sun and Moon hand rotate once in 24 hours indicating which office of the Earth is illuminated by each celestial consistence . Finally , a DRAGON hand moves with the signs of the zodiac . Dragons , masses ! Now I really want this thing .
After you get past the astrological drool factor , a received clock on the front gore of the mahogany case indicates the hour and moment . The Earth clock comes in a modified variation of 99 bit . [ Ulysses NardinviaDVICE ]
