At the upper end of the enormous clock is a carved miniature scene of a metal workshop. A few seconds before the hour, tiny mechanized figures comes out through a door to strike the toy bell. While the hammer of the metal-smith strikes the hours, the movement of his assistant marks the passage of the seconds. Once done, the tiny figure goes back out of the door.
