1620 Only the dial, mechanism and alarm of this clock survive. The case is missing. The spectacular dial shows the time and has a circle engraved with the Dominical Letter - used for finding the day of the week. It also shows saints' days and feast days. The dragon hand indicates when eclipses are most likely to occur. In the center, moving shutters show the length of day and night throughout the year. Thomas Starck, Augsburg, Germany Spring drive, with fusees, balance, quarter striking alarm (P&E CAI-2063)
