The Astronomical Clock of Clock Court (larger) was made for Henry VIII in 1540 by Nicholas Oursian, Devisor of the King’s Horologies. “The clock shows the hour, month, day, number of days since the beginning of the year, and the phases of the moon. The sun revolves around the earth as the clock was designed before the discoveries of Galileo and Copernicus.” - Hampton Court Palace guidebook, Simon Thurley (1996, p. 44) // sircle: (12keys)
Quadrant astrolabe, circa 1325 A.D. This rare instrument-only seven dating from medieval times are known to exist-combines the features of a quadrant and an astrolabe.

This instrument could serve as a measuring tool and perform many of an astrolabe's calculation functions as well.
