Lonely Planet review for Ankeruhr – Hoher Markt

Vienna’s oldest square is home to the Ankeruhr (Anker Clock), an art-nouveau masterpiece created by Franz von Matsch in 1911 and named after the Anker Insurance Co, which commissioned it. Over a 12-hour period, figures slowly pass across the clock face, indicating the time against a static measure showing the minutes. People flock here at noon, when all the figures trundle past in succession and organ music from the appropriate period is piped out.
