Every hour, everyone gathers around for a look at the Astronomical clock...
On the hour, the windows open and the figures move and rotate, it's slightly amuzing the first time...
it's said that after the genius who built this grand clock finished the construction, his king burned his eyes out with hot pokers so that he couldn't reproduce it for anyone else. The Master clocksmith, then blinded, found his way up the clock and broke the gears in retailiation, it apparently took them 80 years to fix the clock again
... now that's gratitude!
