Pointing at the the moon! Discover the current lunar cycle at a glance! The mechanism of the lunar clock is specific, and operates a complete rotation in 29 days and a half, ⏱️ tha t is to say 708 hours. As the main clock hand rotates very slowly, the 'second hand' is therefore essential! It proves that the mechanism is working properly, by operating a tiny leap every minute. This period of time was calculated according to the lunar cycle whose duration is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and a few seconds. The clock mechanism is powered by a single AA battery (not supplied). Simply search on line for the phase of the moon in your location, set the main hand, and off you go moon gazing! Its high-quality made-in-France print adds a neat finish to the moon phase clock and makes it a very smart and beautiful object. Hand-assembled in Hossegor, France with a frame in natural beech wood and featuring a white hand and a cornstarch 'second' hand. Available in four designs, with complementary Tide Clocks, Wall (Time) Clocks, Barometers and also Thermometers available too! Diameter: 25.5cm / 10 inchesDepth: 4cm / 1.5 inches Show more
