Listed as a Historical Monument in 1991, the Astronomical Clock of Saint-Jean de Besançon Cathedral was designed and built by the mechanical watchmaker Auguste-Lucien Vérité from 1858 to 1860 at the request of Cardinal Matthieu. Installed in a room of the lower parts of the bell tower, the astronomical clock is the central point of a very important mechanism. It guarantees the operation of the exterior and interior time dials of the cathedral as well as 2 comtoises bells.
It has a precise and complex mechanism of more than 30,000 pieces and 11 movements. Driven by weights, some are used for animations such as ringtones and automatons. The 57 dials provide many indications: calendars, motion of the planets, eclipses, time of the full sea in different ports... When its mechanism was still in operation, the clock also operated the four outer dials located on either side of the tower of the bell tower and a fifth placed inside the Saint John Cathedral.
