Wall clock with astronomical indications
Description
This clock was built by Isaac Habrecht, who came from a family of clockmakers in Schaffhausen. Like many members of the family, he worked in Strasbourg for many years. The second clock of the Strasbourg Cathedral, completed in 1574, is considered to be his main work. The exhibited clock shows on the dial from top to bottom the moon phase indication, day planets, hour and alarm dial and on the bottom left the Schweizer family coat of arms. In the center is the restoration date 1682.
