See al-Jazari's water powered scribe clock brought back to life after 800 years. This fascinating water powered portable clock stands 1 metre high and half a metre wide. The scribe with his pen is synonymous to the hour hand of a modern clock. This is yet another example of an ingenious water system by al-Jazari.
