Crafted for Louis XV (c. 1754), this rococo masterpiece integrates art and science. Its gilded bronze case supports a rotating celestial globe, while the mechanism tracks solar, lunar, and planetary movements. The clock embodies Enlightenment ideals, marrying mechanical precision with regal opulence.
