Court of the Lions (14th c.) in the Alhambra palace is my favorite water clock.

A large pool of water is surrounded by 12 lions that would spout water from their mouths and depending on the hour of the day (1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, etc), the water comes from Lion 1, Lion 2, Lion 3, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_the_Lions
