Before Peter the Great, the clock face did not have moving hands, and there were 17 numbers instead of 12. Most often, Cyrillic was used, but sometimes Glagolitic script was also applied. On the chimes of the Spasskaya Tower (which was then called the Frolovskaya Tower), both systems were used: Arabic numerals and Cyrillic letters. Dots marked the "half-hours" between them. Foreigners considered this unusual clock face a reflection of the Russian soul. At the top of the clock face was a fixed hand, symbolizing the sun's ray. The clock face itself rotated, painted in a delicate light blue color and decorated with images of the Moon, the Sun, and stars. The letters were of a large size, making the clock visible from afar. There were two such clock faces: one facing the Kremlin and the other facing Kitay-Gorod.
