Good Fast and Cheap
People often speak of the idea that there are generally three things you want when trying to make something happen: you want it to be good, fast and cheap. However, they also say that the truth is that you can only have two of these things exist at once and that you cannot have the third. For instance, if you are remodeling your kitchen, it can be good and fast, but it won’t be cheap. Or, it can be fast and cheap, but it won’t be good. Or, it can even be good and cheap, but it won’t be fast. You can imagine how you could apply this theory to nearly anything.

Located in the Old Town Square, the Astrological Clock is one of the most visited sites in Prague . It is composed of three main elements. The astrological dial, which represents the sun and the moon. ‘The Walk of The Apostles’, which is an hourly show of figures of the apostles, and a calendar dial, which contains medallions that represent the months of the year. Surrounding the clock are four figurines representing four things which are hated in old Czech culture. A skeleton, which represents death; a figure holding a mirror, meaning vanity; a figure with a bag, representing greed and finally a man wearing a turban, which represents the Turkish. Tourists will gather on the turn of every hour to see the figures rotate, and marvel at the perfect engineering of the clock. It is mounted on the side of the Old Town City Hall .
