by In every hour there is an interesting and not very 21st century performance going on. Two door open in the clock and 4 medieval symbols of evil start to shake and dance under the quaint supervision of the 12 holy apostles. The 4 evil persons include a Turk and a Jew, this latter is now politely called Greed. :)

To take revenge, Hanus threw himself into the clock and died, making his work inoperable for more than a hundred years.Reply
