This ancient clock, dates back to the 15th Century (1410). It looks like a Flat Earth? I mean, how does it work?

"The astronomical clock was placed at the front side of the tower in 1410. At the southern part of the tower a special stone chamber was built for its mechanical part. The astronomical clock consists of different parts – such as a calendar and an astronomical desk or the mechanism of twelve apostles which sets them in motion."

The Clock had been Restored and then someone noticed Changes in the last Restoration, completed in 2018.
