Horological Meandering

Although we can hardly believe it today, having a clock was once so rare that it was a prestige object for a town to have a tower clock. And all the clocks were “repeaters” so that everyone in the town could hear the time struck on the bells to call then ...  

Thank you for the time(less) trip through Bern! 😊I have some analog photos of a water clock in Meknes that I need to dig out - 1000+ yrs old. All the best. G.

.. last summer, I visited one in Plague. It was under restoration, so I missed much. Would love to visit again. Hope to see this one and others in a working condition.... Thanks Don, for an excellent report! Best, Ken ...  

as if I would be there myself! Is the visit to the mechanism possible for everyone? Thx, Dirk

look here: It is best to reserve in advance as the visit is very poopular. Don

Best wishes Alkiro

If I ever visit Bern I will make sure to visit the Zytgogge! Best Blomman

I have it in my notes, but somehow was forgotten. D

Don, Thanks for the tour of a complicated clock. I was stuck at the chicken crowing bellows and the pendulum bob being a cannon ball! Regards, MTF
