The Astrological Clock on St. Vitus chimes every hour - there are four figures that are set in motion on the hour - apparently, they represent four things that were despised at the time of the clock's making: Vanity (a figure looking at himself in the mirror), Greed (holding a bag of gold), Death (a skeleton, who strikes time upon the hour), and the Turk (an Arab, who bears the turban). There is also a presentation of statues of the Apostles at the doorways above the clock, with all twelve being presented at noon
