From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lund_Cathedral
"The astronomical clock of the cathedral, the Horologium mirabile Lundense, was made around 1424. After having been in storage since 1837, it was restored and put back in place in 1923.
When it plays, one can hear In dulci jubilo from the smallest organ in the church, while six wooden figures, representing the three magi and their servants, pass by Mary and Jesus. The clock plays two times a day, at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. every day, except on Sundays when the earliest playing takes place at 1:00 p.m. in order not to interrupt the morning service.
On top of the clock there are two knights that mark the hours. The upper board of the clock is the astronomical clock. It shows, among other things, the different phases of the Moon and where the Sun sets.
The lower board of the clock is a calendar. With the help of it one can, among other things, calculate when different mobile religious holidays will fall and on which weekday a certain date will fall. In the middle of the calendar stands Saint Lawrence, the Patron Saint of the Cathedral, and by his side the Symbols of the Four Evangelists.."

time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life -William Faulkner
this is the coolest, most interesting clock i have ever seen, that hangs upon the wall my friend, sandy's house.
"Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires." ~Charles Caleb Colton
..i put two quotes because i couldn't choose which one i liked more. they both make me think, and i hope they make you as well.
This is a reconstruction based on remains at All Saints' Church, Highcross Street, Leicester, supplemented by documentary evidence. The original carved wood quarter-jacks disappeared many years ago, but traditionally dates back to the early 17th Century. In Jacobean costume, they represented heralds.
Like it's predecessor, this clock operates every quarter-hour, and chimes the hour on the hour.
Constructed with aid of National Lottery funds and installed in October 1999 to mark the beginning of a new millennium.
New glazing in the clock - the rest will appear soon, when the hands will be replaced and a repaired mechanism reinstated behind.
Peer closely into the clock, and you can see right through into the attic offices behind....
President Clock made in switzerland that i am restoring, it has a junghans 4 jewelled German electromagnet mechanism.
The clock from the main pavilion. A pretty unremarkable photo but one I hope that has been improved by the B&W treatment.
The pavilion is currently due to be renovated under a £4m program. Seems a lot of money but I understand the construction fabric of the building is difficult to repair and in very bad condition.
This clock was a gift from a friend many years ago. It has sat on the mantle of both houses we've lived in ticking away. It's nice to be reminded of the promise of the future.
