It's my first clock.

I recently found this and was hoping to get the immense and gregarious thoughts you have regarding this particular timepiece.



The clock has an;

- 8 Day Autonomy
- Hours, Minutes, Subsidiary Seconds
- Westminster Gong (Chimes/Signals 15, 30 & 45)
- On/Off lever for the Westminster
- Additional Option for On/Off system to NOT signal between 10pm-6:45am
- Brass & YG highlightening
- Crystal w/ Domed viewing
- Front & Back maintenance doors
- Basic Orrery of the Sun, Earth & Moon (Cycling 29.5 days aroung the sun)
- Calender (Months, Days, celestial positioning)

The PP clock is listed as a complication clock but I have found only limited information on
my new addition.

Any and all of your thoughts are eagerly anticipated.

I remember a while back, someone questions about the authenticity of the clock... I would suggest you to take this to the service center and check. I think most of us here would like to know the answer. Anyway, it is a good looking clock

Not real....

...I'm pretty sure the clock(movement and part of the design) in question is a copy of the Hermle Tellurium - and, as said, sources somewhere form far east (China). Somehow this could be considered a "double fake" Although I don't know about actual prices... 

Thank you all for your candor and expertise.
