While waiting to meet a friend of a friend, I stood
staring at the once-Medieval astronomical clock
in Horni Namesti (Upper Square).

"Today, the clock is not only the most
beautiful socialist-themed astronomical
clock in the world, it's the only."

Built into the Renaissance town hall, the two-story-
tall mosaic & time keeping device's 12-inch figurines
of barrel-chested workers & sinewy bandana-clad
women put on an hourly procession.  Unlike Prague's
astronomical clock, few stop to watch it.
