Глобус звездного неба с часовым механизмом

Gerhard Emmoser German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 520

Выполненный для императора Священной Римской империи Рудольфа II, этот глобус имеет часовой механизм, автором которого является императорский часовщик Герхард Эммосер, который поставил подпись и дату на меридианном круге глобуса. Часовой механизм, в значительной степени восстановленный, первоначально вращал небесную сферу и перемещал изображение солнца вдоль плоскости эклиптики. Один циферблат наверху глобуса указывал время, другой — дату. Сфера с искусно выгравированными созвездиями и основанием в форме Пегаса, выполнена анонимным ювелиром и, возможно, гравером, который, вероятно, состоял на службе в Императорских мастерских Вены.
