Original movement by George Graham
Friend of astronomers, such as Sir Isaac Newton or Edmond Halley, he created the first mechanical solar system model, in
1713. The invention was presented to Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery, from which all such tellurians and planetariums take their name. The Orrery overturned the conventions of watchmaking and astronomy…and it was 300 years ago!
