Expert Craftsmanship in Orrery Design
Science Art creates one of a kind orrery designs--mechanical models of the solar system.
What is an orrery?
At the heart of our orrery models lies a powerful solid brass clockwork mechanism, calibrated to orchestrate the orbits of the planets in correct relative motion- in faithful ratio of each planet's orbit to one another. An orrery represents a model of the planetary movements in our solar system.The nine planets gracefully orbit an orange calcite sphere or solid brass Sun.
What is an orrery made from?
Each orrery is designed with natural materials such as semi-precious stones, solid brass--gears and armillaries, and hardwoods -- reflecting both the wonder our solar system and the beauty of our earth in an exquisite union of art and science.
