themagicfarawayttree:North transept clock of Wells Cathedral circa 1390. Second oldest working clock in the world and the oldest clock that still has its original dials. In addition to hours and minutes, it shows the number of days since a new moon. A group of figures emerge and rotate on the quarter hour - a knight is unhorsed by a lance. -- source link
