It is a unique artistic clock from 1911-1914, where historical figures appear every hour, and a parade takes place at noon.

The Ankeruhr is a unique artistic clock, placed above the passage between two buildings on Hoher Markt in Vienna. Created between 1911 and 1914 by Franz von Matsch, it combines elements of Art Nouveau and mechanics. Every hour, different historical figures from Vienna's history appear on the clock, and at noon, all figures parade to the sound of music. It is a moving work of public art.
