Visible from the roof of the Savoy building at the Paradeplatz, the 360-degree panorama of the city of Zürich constitutes the stage for the 24-hour dial which indicates the precise motions of the sun and the moon, precisely correlated with and accurately calculated for the clock's position.
It shows the sunrise and sunset, and moonrise and moonset times as well as the changing elevations of both bodies over the horizon. It also depicts solar and lunar eclipses. The 24-hour dial indicates true solar time in Zürich as opposed to «standard» time. Thus, the Türler Clock is the only timepiece in Zürich that indicates the «correct» time.
