Tower Orrery

 

 

 

We are pleased to introduce our new orrery design: The Tower Orrery.

 As with all our high quality orreries, the Tower Orrery depicts correct relative orbital speeds of all 9 planets (yes, we do include Pluto), plus the relative orbital movement of Earth’s moon.

  • The Sun, 9 planets and 22 moons are made of beautiful semi-precious stone spheres.

  • Available as a battery operated (2 D ) or hand crank model upon request.

  • The clockwork mechanism of moving solid brass gears is fully visible.

  • In fine craftsmanship is a twelve sided oak or walnut base (customer choice).

  • An engraved calendar/zodiacal brass gracefully divides the upper and lower sections of a full brass armillary sphere.

  • The Tower Orrery assembles in about 5 minutes—assembly instructions and 90 day warranty are included in the owner’s manual.

  • We liken the crafting of our orrery models to the finest musical instruments available, and the natural subtleties of the semi-precious stone planets, moons and Sun ensures a one-of-a-kind appeal at an exceptional price. We do not wholesale our products.

  • Height 22” Width  & Depth 18”
