This unusual automated clock is called "Defender of time" and is located in the 'Quartier de l'horloge' close to rue Rambuteau in the 4th arrondissement. Constructed in 1979 it depicts a man armed with a sword and a shield who fights, in turn, a dragon, a bird and a crab according to the hour being struck and then faces them all together at 12h00 and at 18h00. It was broken for some time before being recently repaired and given a new sword for the regular battles.
