600 Years of Heartbeat: Prague’s Astronomical Clock (Orloj) and the Quiet Appeal of Vintage.

In Prague, I stumbled into a crowd gathered beneath the Astronomical Clock (the Orloj) and ended up thinking about why we still keep old, inconvenient things alive in a world of perfect accuracy. This episode is a quiet reflection on the clock’s “maintenance as culture”—and how that idea made me understand the romance of vintage a little more, even as someone who usually prefers practicality. I’m not an expert, just sharing what I noticed and what it made me reconsider.
