The original and world's only hops watch (Chmelový Orloj) shows in addition to the time and zodiac signs of hops farming. Like the much older astronomical clock tower in Prague's Old Town, it beats every full hour. Instead of apostles, however, motifs from the card game Mariage appear in the window.

The world's only hop clock with scenes of hop growing is one of the attractions of the Hop Museum, and it is worth being there on the hour.

Great view from the 40 m high tower into the Saaz basin, which is world famous for its hop growing. The reproduced hop poles are striking.
