The AstroClocks Android app collects the simulation of a variety of the most well-known astronomical clocks in Europe.

The first of those is the Torrazzo clock in Cremona, offered both in the current modern version and within the original model, before the reconstruction.

Then the Brescia and Praga ones comply with. This last one can additionally be offered in a completely recomputed model that's so proven for the precise latitude as measured by the gadget.

Individual clocks are accessed through the home page.

The chosen clock opens in continuous mode, i.e. the date is the current one and the time is up to date every second.

The top proper menu allows you to change the operation in the following methods:

- reset: reset current date and time and proceed with continuous updating of the time

- cease: stop any automated modification of the current time and date

- increment date: simulate a date variation in 1-day steps

- increment time: simulate a time variation in 5 minutes steps

- set hour and date: set the specified date and time

Hand positions are calculated utilizing probably the most exact strategies described by Jean Meeus in the e-book Astronomical algorithms.

I have to thank my gnomonist pal Luigi Ghia for giving me the drawings of the shifting components of some of the watches represented here, as nicely as for encouraging me to proceed with the development of this app.
