Yes! We visited The Prague Orloj 2 years ago and it's amazing engineering. That's why we named it after it, for how it's coordinating and orchestrating so many complex mechanisms. (for anyone wondering it's pronounced Or-Loy)

You should check out the Olomouc orloj [1]. Equally technically interesting as the Prague one, but with the added "benefit" of having been adjusted for political correctness under the Communist regime.
