Astronomical Clock Time Assigned: 1:30 Designed and Hooked by: Debbie Fabi – St. Catharines, Ontario


Astronomical clocks were made up of very integral moving circles – the zodiac formed one circle, another rotating ring depicts the earth with the sun moving around it, and a ring with the moon moving around it. It has a roman numeral dial indicating the 24-hour clock. The stationary background of the Astronomical dial is an earthly map. The oldest operating astronomical clock is in Prague. It was built in 1410. The rug design is based on the Prague clock illustrating the three moving dials. The golden hand is indicating the time as 1:30.
