You can but as far as I can tell not online. When I was in Prague this Spring various vendors sold working replicas of the clock. It was in St. Francis Square I think, you go up past the clock and take a left down this road that leads to the square and there were all sorts of vendors. They came in many sizes are were not very expensive, my friend purchased one for her mother and she adores it.
- Yes, it looks lovely, but it does not work, it is purely decorative.
