Funny Thing, about a Thief Clock.

Did not know the Thief clock is a real clock! Never seen it outside Thief before. Weird.

Was watching Prime's "LORE" Season 2 Ep 4 & the Haunted Clock episode caught my eye.
Over 20 years & I had no idea that the clock in the game is based on a real one in the city of Prague from the 13th Century! :D
I always thought TTLG made it up. I don't remember which FM or in the original game when it came to be, but I do
remember the clock worked. As in moving gears & hands.
The episode really made you rethink That clock though lol.

The clock appears in the training room in OM Framed as well (with moving gears).

Quite a few Thief textures are based on real life architecture. It's one of the many reasons I love the game so much.

This is a cool find. Given that I have been to the Old Town Hall in Prague before, I must have seen it in real life without realizing it exists as a digital model in Thief.

@Acolyte6 Maybe you should post this on the thread 'Real life... association with Thief' ((https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108516)), it would be a great addition to it!
