This remarkable timepiece, possibly the most complicated of its kind in the world, was designed and made by Rasmus Sørnes (1893 - 1967) in Moss, Norway. The clock has been shown for some time at the Time Museum in Rockford, and at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, but is now sold by Sotheby to an unknown owner. Rasmus Sørnes clocks will probably be the last ones ever designed and made by hand by one single person after his own design and calculations, as a true craftsmanship and as an item of art. His clocks were made by him alone, in his shop, with his homemade tools, according to his own ideas and also supported by his own observations of the firmament.
