Clockmaker Automaton Sign, Calle Della Sal, Madrid, Spain

This curious character working on a clock is part of a storefront sign for one of Madrid's oldest shop, the Antigua Relojeria, a clockmaker founded in 1880. The figure is partly automated: every 30 minutes the bells behind him play a little song, with the man occasionally moving as well. It was created by artist Antonio Mingote in 2010 and lies close to Plaza Mayor.
