Set in motion by 16th-century ingenuity, the Astronomical Clock at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Münster remains an engineering marvel, where celestial mechanics meet spiritual devotion in a confluence of moving figures, zodiac signs, and startling precision.

Gastown Steam Clock in Vancouver, British Columbia, built in 1977 by horologist Raymond Saunders and metalwork specialist Doug Smith.

The clockworks are powered by descending weights. The mini-steam engine at the base of the clock case takes up the role of the human "winder" by raising a series of ball weights and delivering the weights to the clock drive train. But the steam engine is connected by a rubber belt to an electric motor hidden from view to help with accuracy.

Every quarter-hour, the two-ton Steam Clock whistles the Westminster Chime. On the hour it marks each hour with a toot from each of its five whistles.
