摘要

The device is for time measurement with astrological indications and involves mechanical or electronic movement indicating the time of the day but handling simultaneously the position of the constellations, the signs of the zodiac and those of Chinese astrology. At the positions of 12,3,6, and 9 o'clock of the dial (19), there are apertures (1,6,9,15), allowing the display of the signs of the zodiac, of Chinese astrology and their respective ascendants. The central disk turns on the axis of the hands (13,19), marking the position of the constellations (14) in relation to the time of the day and the sidereal year.
