Hon Cheon Sigye

（渾天時計 ホンチョンシギェ）
National Treasure 230

'Sigye' in Korean means a clock.

This is made in Choseon Dynasty(1969) to measure the time and to study astronomy.

The clock is 40cm in diameter, and the globe in the middle which represent the Earth is 8.9 cm in diameter.

It works by the movement of two pendulums: one spinning toothed wheels, and the other hitting a bell. Several metal balls are rolled down to the gutter-like box and let the hammer inside hits the bell. Finally, the thoothed wheels lift up the metal balls, and the whole process repeats again and again.

This is the only astronomical clock that has been well preserved till now.

You can find it in the Museum of Korea University when you visit Korea, of course. : )
