Astrological clock, Chartres Cathedral, Chartres, France

Astrological clock, 1525-28, by Jehan Texier or Jean de Beauce, telling the time, the day of the week, the month of the year, the time of sunrise and sunset, the phase of the moon and the current sign of the zodiac, on the chancel screen of Chartres Cathedral, Eure-et-Loir, France. Its inner workings were partially destroyed in 1793 during the French Revolution, and the face and mechanisms have been restored 2006-2010. Chartres cathedral was built 1194-1250 and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
