Chariot clock

A chariot clock is a special type of clock that looks like a tiny carriage or chariot that moves on a track or rail. It has a little figure or statue, such as a horse or goddess, that sits inside the chariot and moves back and forth as the clock ticks. When the figure reaches one end of the track, it triggers a mechanism that makes a sound, like a bell or chime, to tell you what time it is.

Think of it like a toy train set, but instead of a train, it's a fancy carriage that tells time. The little figure inside the carriage helps you know what time it is by moving and ringing a bell or chime. It's like having a little toy friend that tells you when it's time to wake up, go to bed, or eat lunch.
