Treasure #8
Planetarium Table Clock 1770 found at The Beyer Museum Of Time, Zurich Switzerland
Latitude: 47.366460
Longitude: 8.545220


This beautiful time piece is certainly a treasure! The amazing Planetarium Table Clock not only keeps time, but tracks the rotation of the planets around the sun in perfect time and in relation to the etched constellations on the crystal globe. If you are smart enough, you can even decipher what season it is.

This fine timekeeping piece was the joint creation of an incredible husband and wife team: Nicole-Reine Lepaute, a French astronomer who predicted the return of Halley’s Comet, and her husband, Jean-André Lepaute, who presided over a French clockmaker dynasty of the 18th century and was the Clockmaker to King Louis XV. Lepaute also worked with sculptors to create a stunning repertoire of clocks. To see an array of this man’s artistry, Google “Images of Jean-André Lepaute Clocks". You will be amazed.

The museum this clock calls home is a treasure unto itself and one of the world’s leading private museums dedicated to the horology, the study and measurement of
time. Located in the heart of Zurich, The Beyer Watch and Clock Museum contains rare chronological instruments dating from 1400 BC right up to the present day, including shadow sticks, sundials, oil clocks, hourglasses, water clocks, grandfather clocks, table clocks, pocket watches, and scientific and navigation chronometers. Beyer has worked on his collection since 1940 and opened his museum to the public in 1971.

The new treasure is fantastic, I love that kind of creation. I wish I could remember if I made it to that particular museum when I was in Zurich umpteen years ago; I know I went to one with clocks and watches.
