Clock programmed using Processing. The 'planets' follow the hour, minute, and second hand, whilst the gradients change hue gradually each minute. The gradient is produced by changing the HSB values, with brightness highest for the outer ring and becoming darker by 10% for each ring towards the centre.
Vergesst nicht, die Uhren umzustellen!
Diese mehr als 150 Jahre alte Uhr hat ein Stundensignal. Deshalb kann man sie nicht zurückstellen. Ich muss sie entweder 11 Stunden vorstellen oder anhalten und später wieder starten.

Beginning and endings - for our daily challenge

A view through time , in the foreground obviously is the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben ( a shot before all the scaffolding went up ) and beyond is Westminster Abbey which goes back in time even further .
Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart.
A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, Westminster Abbey is also the place where some of the most significant people in the nation's history are buried or commemorated. Taken as a whole the tombs and memorials comprise the most significant single collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the United Kingdom.
Medieval Marketplace
Welcome to the third project of my little medieval town - Medieval Marketplace!
In my marketplace you can see a tall tower with an astronomical clock on one side (a copy of the Old Town Hall Tower) and ordinary clocks on the other.
On the same square, life is in full swing! Here you will see a butcher chopping a piece of meat for the next customer - an old astronomer in a luxurious hat, and a fish merchant. A prosperous merchant with all kinds of trinkets, living in a house near the tower and unloading all sorts of supplies from the cart. A baker just baked another pretzel in his bakery. Well and of course the guards keeping order. :)
The project also includes 10 minifigures:
a jester fireman,
two guards,
a merchant of some supplies,
a fish merchant,
a baker,
a butcher,
two peasants,
a horse
The second floor of the houses and the roofs are easily removed. The whole model is fully playable. The tower is empty inside.
I was inspired to create this project by my trip to Prague last summer. Initially, I planned to create a project only for the Astronomical Clock (Old Town Hall Tower), but having built the tower, I decided to slightly change it and add a market square to it - in the end it’s a fantasy! :)
Also, when building this project, I was inspired by such clock towers as The Zytglogge and Ledbury Clock Tower, and a set of lego castle 10193 medieval marketplace.
I hope you enjoyed

This Art Nouveau clock is one of the many details in Victor Horta's former home in Brussels. It sits on the mantle of the main fireplace in the dining room, and its curving 'whiplash' lines are designed to match the flowing style seen throughout the house.
Built in 1897 and Grade 1 listed since 1955, the faces were glazed in 1988 after the hands were repeatedly stolen and has the reputation as being the second most photographed clock in the UK after the Elizabeth Tower at Westminster
Commentary.
Steyning is a town at the northern end of the Adur Gap through the South Downs.
The town dates back to Saxon times over 1,000 years ago.
The Parish Church, originally dedicated to St. Cuthman,
eventually became jointly dedicated to St. Andrew.
Nearby Bramber Castle was built following the Norman invasion and acted as a defence against invasion from
south or north through the Adur valley.
Trade and religious disputes soured the relationship between
Bramber and Steyning for several centuries.
In the 14th. Century the River Adur began to silt up causing
the loss of trade and population to both places.
In 1614, the Alderman of Chichester founded Steyning
Grammar School, in Church Street, just off the High Street.
This Jacobean building still stands today, but the main school
is now sited at the northern end of the town.
The railway linking Guildford to Shoreham via Steyning
opened in 1861, but fell foul to the infamous Beeching cuts of the 1960’s.
The rail route has been preserved as a foot, bridle and cycle way, known as the Downs Link.
The Old Town Hall built in 1886 is now an Estate Agents.
Agriculture, brewing, tanning and brickmaking formed
the core of the economy in the late 19th. Century.
Today the town has three pubs, a good variety of shops,
a Health Centre, Public Library and Museum.
The Leisure Centre, including a swimming pool, was funded by the National Lottery.
Steyning Grammar School is now a comprehensive
serving 2,500 pupils from a wide area.
There is also a Primary School and Pre-School.
The town has cricket, football and athletic clubs.
Its prized architecture includes Tudor, Stuart, Georgian and Victorian buildings as well as 20th. and 21st. century developments.
The High Street’s main landmark is the tile-hung Clock-Tower.
The town hosts many walkers on the nearby South Downs
and day-trippers making for the coast, a few miles to the south.
The clock was erected in 1899 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It was designed by Chester architect, John Douglas and since 1955 it has been a Grade I listed building.
It is usually viewed from below at street level but this view is from the Roman walls of the City where it was erected.
It is reputed to be the second most photographed clock in the UK after Big Ben.

Dolmabahçe Clock Tower (Turkish: Dolmabahçe Saat Kulesi) is a clock tower situated outside Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The tower was ordered by Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid II (1842–1918) and designed by the court architect Sarkis Balyan between 1890 and 1895.
The clock tower was added to Dolmabahçe Palace, and stands in front of its Treasury Gate on a square along the European waterfront of Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Mosque. Designed in Ottoman neo-baroque style, the four-sided, four-story tower stands on a floor area of 8.5 × 8.5 m (28 × 28 ft) at a height of 27 m (89 ft). Its clock was manufactured by the renowned French clockmaker house of Jean-Paul Garnier, and installed by the court clock master Johann Mayer. In 1979, the original mechanical clock was converted partly to an electrical one. On two opposite sides of the tower, the tughra of Sultan Abdul Hamid II is put on
A steam clock is a clock which is fully or partially powered by a steam engine. Only a few functioning steam clocks exist, most designed and built by Canadian horologist Raymond Saunders for display in urban public spaces. Steam clocks built by Saunders are located in Otaru, Japan; Indianapolis, USA; and the Canadian cities of Vancouver, Whistler and Port Coquitlam, all in British Columbia. Steam clocks by other makers are installed in St Helier, Jersey and at the Chelsea Farmers' Market in London, England.
Although they are often styled to appear as 19th-century antiques, steam clocks are a more recent phenomenon inspired by the Gastown steam clock built by Saunders in 1977. (Wikipedia)

The Earl Layman Street Clock is incumbently installed at First Avenue South and South Main Street in the historical Pioneer Square district of Seattle. It was commissioned in 1907 by Young’s Credit Jewelers, and was installed during 1922 in front of their Third Avenue and Seneca Street store.

We arrived at Hauptkirche Sankt Michaelis a bit too early before their opening time, luckily for me, Michiel is very good in finding nearby places to explore. We ended up visiting the Kramer-Witwen-Wohnung (Grocer Widow's apartment) museum.
Partial and edited quote from their web site:
shmh.de/en/kramer-widows-apartment
"The „Krameramt“ was the Guild of the Shopkeepers, whose statutes date back to 1375. They had their permanent stalls or shops in the city and traded mainly in spices, silk and iron wares.
In 1676 the wealthy guild built these houses to provide room for the widows of its members. The guild’s aim was to re-accommodate the widows and hence to vacate premises for new members in the shops. A plaque on the wall facing the land gives the date of construction as 1676 and indicates that the houses were a charitable foundation.
The living area of each widow is divided in two storeys. There is a small living-room with a kitchen on the ground floor. The upper floor consists of a living-room with sewing table and a sleeping accommodation. On the top floor is a drying loft with a clotheshorse attached to the outside of the window facing the lane. Furthermore, the loft was needed for the supply with wood and carbon. Water pipes were not installed until the end of the 19th century. In the previous time they used two water pumps.
By today's standard this apartment appears tiny, with minimal space and amenities but according to the circumstances at this time it was a quite comfortable and progressive arrangement.
Fits the criteria for the Smile on Saturday challenge - always easy to tell the time on Rochester High Street with our super-sized clock. And as a bonus there is a row of chimney pots in the background.

An old time clock complete with time cards in an old abandoned manufacturing plant. How many of you can remember punching a card before and after shift? I can, back in the '70s. There were no computers or smartphones back then.
A southbound Jubilee line train accelerates away from St John's Wood passing the station clock. A similar timepiece is on the northbound platform.
