With glittering hands and a complex series of filigreed wheels, this ornamental timepiece doesn't merely mark the hours of a 24-hour day. Symbols of the zodiac tell the course of the heavens. When the bell tolls, windows fly open and mechanical apostles, skeletons, and "sinners" begin a ritualistic dance of destiny. The irony of the Prague Astronomical Clock is that for all its mastery at keeping time it is nearly impossible to place in time. Strasbourg Astronomical Clock a Renaissance masterpiece, the Astronomical Clock is a result of the combined work of artists, mathematicians and technicians.Swiss clockmakers, sculptors, painters and automaton designers all worked together to produce this superb attraction. The current mechanism dates from 1842.The main attraction of the clock is its animated figures which come out to delight the public every day at half past noon. During this performance, visitors are treated to views of the different ages of life, personified by a child, a teenager, an adult and an old man, who all parade past Death. Higher up, the apostles have their own parade, before Christ. Their journey is accompanied by the beating of wings and the sound of a large cock crowing. In front of the Clock visitors can admire the huge Pillar of Angels which offers a highly original representation of the Last Judgment.
