When I think of time pieces I think of Brussels, Belgium On this star shaped clock, every hour is represented by a painted figurine, and each figurine represents a historical figure in Brussels. Before, each character came out out of their niche one by one. At noon and midnight when the Jacquemart ( That Figure on Top) rings the bell 12 times, the figurines showed themselves one after another.and then melodies of the bells resonate through the square.
