the sputnik weather station
If you're in the steampunk trend, you will enjoy the sight of this Weather Station Barometer Sputnik. Although not itself steampunk, it proposes that same look almost antique is often presented with steampunk elements. In addition, it keeps you informed of the time. It is not as technical as all digital weather stations, but it also seems much better sitting in your house. Sometimes it is good to mix a bit of obsolete technology when it looks this good.
The device will read the barometric air pressure and gives the temperature and humidity. It measures everything in degrees Celsius, so it will not work for someone in the United States. This is unless you want to run the whole conversion Fahrenheit to Celsius. The weather station is completed in the design of the brass and the sphere itself is made of Plexiglas. Of course, something that looks like this will not stand for a cheap price. It'll cost you £ 109.95 or about $ 182.
