In front of the mosaic, twelve figures or pairs of figures pass by (personalities from Vienna's history) over the course of twelve hours, and when they appear a suitable song or piece of music sounds (all figures one after the other at noon):

Marc Aurel appears on the anchor watch at 1 p.m.
Two o'clock: Charlemagne
Three o'clock: Duke Leopold VI.
Four o'clock: Walther von der Vogelweide
Five o'clock. King Rudolf I of Habsburg and wife Anna
Six o'clock: Hans Puchsbaum
Seven o'clock: Emperor Maximilian I.
Eight o'clock: Mayor Johann Andreas von Liebenberg
Nine o'clock: Ernst Rüdiger Graf Starhemberg
Ten o'clock: Prince Eugene of Savoy
Eleven o'clock: Empress Maria Theresa and husband Franz Stephan of Lorraine
Twelve o'clock: Joseph Haydn, creator of the folk hymn "Gott erehmen". After 1918 the imperial hymn was replaced by "The heavens boast of eternal honor" by Haydn.

The Ankeruhr is actually a bridge and connects the two parts of the Anker-Hof building. The Art Nouveau painter Franz Matsch designed the clock.

It was built between 1911 and 1914. Over the course of twelve hours, twelve figures or pairs of figures from the history of Vienna walk across the bridge. At 12 noon, all figures parade with music. Christmas carols are played every day in Advent at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.
