Zytgloggeturm

This fascinating astronomical clock on Kramgasse is a focal point of the old city. Built in 1530, it features mechanical figures that revolve when the hour strikes, including a knight in armor and dancing bears.

This video shows the view of the clock tower from Einstein's room at the patent office in Berne.
