Description
Mechanical Tellurion – Sun, Earth and Moon as a gear model: day and night, lunar phases and seasons, all driven by one handle.
Turn the handle and the closely calibrated gear system starts moving: one turn equals one rotation of the Earth on its axis, in other words one day. You see why day turns into night, what causes the phases of the Moon and why the seasons change. The Earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees, and a graphic shows the signs of the zodiac.
You can set the model to today's date: point the seasons dial to midwinter or midsummer, turn the handle forward or back by the number of days from the nearest solstice, then use the upper gear disk to put the Moon in its current phase. A project for a weekend – 249 parts, about 5 hours.
Key features:
- Driven by hand via the handle
- One turn of the handle equals one day
- Earth's axis tilted at 23.5 degrees
- Seasons dial with pointer
- Moon phase adjustable via the upper gear disk
- Graphic representation of the zodiac signs

From 249 parts to an art object for your shelf – built with your own hands.
Laser-cut edges, open mechanics, visible wood grain: every part is laser-cut from plywood so precisely that it fits without glue. Gears, levers and shafts stay visible – the mechanism is part of the design.
Designed by UGEARS, a Ukrainian brand, produced in the EU. We have been bringing the models to Germany as the exclusive importer since 2015 and ship from Germany. If a part breaks while building, spare parts are free.
