Kryštofovo Údolí astronomical clock
The clock's construction was directed by Martin Chaloupka.[1]
The clock has three dials, showing the time, the zodiac, and the lunar phase. It is driven by an electric motor.[1]
As the clock chimes the hour, the twelve apostles file past two doors at the top of the clock, as on the Prague astronomical clock.
