Tower‘s large astronomical clock shows the position of the sun, symboled by a hand. A gold and black ball shows the phase of the moon and the angel between those two marks the lunar phase. It also shows a zodiac, season and of course hours and minutes.

There are 7 bears roundabout, wich rotating when jester is ringing his bells. Every bear symbolizes a day of the week. There are a lot of other surprises, including a lion and a rooster, that the Clock Tower has to offer.
