The glockenspiel above Kurz Jewelers was a gift from the original owner to the city of Zürich. The figures represent folk costumes from different regions of Switzerland, and each was hand-carved by woodworkers from Brienz. Every day at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., the clock strikes, folk tunes chime out, and the figures promenade. Some dance, herd sheep, play an instrument, and even churn butter or clink drinking mugs.
