Further, I want to know if those clocks, of Prague and Bern, can show when
an eclipse occurs.

How is that lunar dial? Does it show the moon's phases and in what sign it
is?

The nodes of an orbit are the points where the orbiting body pass through the ecliptic in either direcrion. The point where the object's latitude changes from minus to plus is the ascending node and the descending node is where the body goes from postive to negative latitude.
Some old clocks
For eclipses to happen, the 'line of nodes' must be
aligned with the sun. This happens roughly every six months
and create the 'eclipse seasons' during which eclipses
are possible.
