Handcrafted Grand Orrery

	
The hand-cranked or battery operated (your choice) Grand Orrery depicts correct relative orbital speeds of all 9 planets plus relative orbital movement of Earth’s moon. Mercury orbits 1028 times for every orbit of Pluto. Mercury takes about 4 seconds to orbit while Pluto takes about 4 hours.
	
The Sun, 9 planets and 28 moons are made of beautiful semi-precious stone spheres. Brass planets with stone moon is also available to special order.
	
The mechanism is fully visible beneath the orbiting planets, and is a captivating presentation of moving solid brass gears.
	
In fine woodwork, a twelve sided oak barrel housing, seated upon 12 solid brass feet, elegantly presents the Grand Orrery.
	
An engraved brass calendar/zodiacal ring rests on 12 brass pillars which together sit above the oak barrel.
	
Around the moving planets and above the calendar ring sits a removable solid brass armillary half-sphere beautifully crowning the Grand Orrery.
	
Assembly takes about 10 minutes – assembly instructions and 90 day warranty are located in the included 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 Grand Orrery.
