November 2021 the Friends of the Mission Inn Re-oufitted the figures.

The Anton Clock was named after a story by Walter Dryer, Called "The Vision of the Anton Clock". 

The rotating carousel of figures was designed and added to the clock in 1953 by Frank Miller's daughter, Alice Miller Hutchings.

The five rotating figures are symbolic of California's history.  

Father Junipero Serra
Explorer Juan Bautista De Anza
St. Francis of Assisi
The California Grizzly Bear
The California Indian
