Abstrakt: The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna houses a large astronomical wooden cased clock inspired by the Prague Astronomical Clock, made for Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria in 1572. Archival sources confirm that this clock can be attributed to clockmaker Pavel Frejlich from Litomyšl. The previous attributions to Jan Táborský of Klokotská Hora have been ruled out due to his death in January 1572 and his non-clockmaker background. This clock also provides insights into elements used at the time of its creation on the Prague Astronomical Clock, such as the crank-rocker mechanism for the oscillation of the Bohemian hours’ chapter ring and the auxiliary ring with moon phases, neither of which have been preserved to this day.
