About this item

This traditional weather station is both a work of art and an instrument at home in any fine study, library, office or upscale restaurant. The rich, wood framed classic weather station measures temperature (galileo), barometric pressure (in and mbar), humidity (%) with analog clock.
The Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass tube that is filled with liquid (paraffin oil) and several floating bubbles. The bubbles are glass spheres filled with a colored liquid mixture. Attached to each bubble is a little metal tag that indicates a temperature. These metal tags are calibrated counterweights. The weight of each tag is slightly different from the others.

Nice design of a weather forecaster.

This is a Christmas gift for my 10-year-old grandson. He loves watching the weather forecast and I know he’ll love this gift. Well constructed and a nice size. Can’t tell if it works since it is a Christmas gift but the reviews were good.

GREAT PRODUCT...GREAT PRICE!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2015

We are very pleased with this high quality product. We own a thoroughbred horse farm and it is imperative that we track the weather conditions at all times. This instrument provides instant information and serves as a unique decorative and conversation piece. So much of what you buy online is disappointing or complete crap, it is refreshing to receive an item of great quality exactly as advertised!

Awesome!

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015

We have been watching pressure, humidity and temp since Christmas, and they adjust correctly. We have frequent changes around here and it's fun and educational to observe those.
The instruction manual is actually very good, and certainly not at 3rd grader level - more like someone who at least has good basic knowledge of physics/meteorology.
Looks beautiful in the living room.
Don't forget to tap the barometer, and remember the lowest FLOATING bulb is the current temperature.
Enjoy!

Too Fragile to Ship

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

It was very pretty and functional, just what we were looking for! However, before we even opened the box, you could hear something 'clinking' in the box. Once we opened it, we discovered one of the globes inside the Galileo thermometer was broken - just the tip of it but it had leaked its oil into the container so it was no longer functional. The glass globes have pointed tips and float inside a glass tube. I don't know how it could be shipped and not have potential breakage. Anyway, our's was broken, and we had to return it. A shame!

Super fancy looking

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2015

Super fancy looking; very fragile as to be expected. I've bumped it a few times with no disasters, so good enough. The clock ticks, which some (like me) get bothered by, but I still love it.

Ordered this on line even though I was concerned that it could get broken during shipping. However, it arrived in excellent condition. This thermometer looks much better in person than it does it the picture. It really has a classy look and I'm very pleased with it.
