Remember to put your clocks back this weekend.
I'm fascinated by clocks and Prague has one of the best. The Old Town Hall’s Astronomical Clock isn’t something to tell you the time in a hurry; it’s a medieval marvel to linger over. It even shows the position of the stars in the sky. The three circles on the upper dial display Old Czech Time (Italian Time), Central European Time and, should you need it, Babylonian Time. As the hour chimes, the Twelve Apostles pass by and the cockerel at the top crows and quivers its wings. Isn’t it wonderful?
