Description The beautiful astronomical clock, first installed in 1410. It was built before they knew the earth moved around the sun. How cool is that!

Yep, I'm a Whovian geek..... no question about it.... I fav'd this a long time ago, and now I look at it again after watching Doctor Who... the clock looks like Gallafreyan....
