Czech Astronomical Clock

The central portion of the Prague Astronomical Clock (the Orloj) in the Czech Republic has four moving components: the zodiacal ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the Sun, and an icon representing the Moon. It is surrounded by 24 gold Schwabacher numerals that represent the old Czech time.
