The piece is a reproduction of an instrument dated 1570 and signed by Humphrey Cole. This instrument is found in the British Museum, London. The original piece has two faces, one of which is this nocturnal.
Horologium noctis is the Latin name of this nocturnal watch, an artifact that is used to obtain the time at night using the fixed stars in the sky.

Astrolabe Keyring Astrolabe Keyring Ref: LH-H80

  • HEMISFERIUM
The Astrolabe, considered as the mathematic jewel of the Medium Age, was to the end of 17th century the instrument most used in the whole history of the Astronomy. From a didactic point of view it is still in force, because it allows us to understand in a clear and simply way, the celestial mechanism and the apparent movement of the stars.
Historically it is admitted with enough probability that its origin could go as far as Alexandria around IV century. Its was brought to perfect by the Arabs and Persians, who introduced it in Spain and through it to West Europe at the beginning of X century.
