A small human figurine holds a pointer to a cylinder marked by the hours
The cylinder is connected by gears to a water wheel driven by water that also floats a part that supports the figurine.

Although not punctual in the modern sense, ancient civilizations adjusted daily schedules to the sun more flexibly than modern DST does, often dividing daylight into twelve equal hours regardless of day length, so that each daylight hour was longer during summer.
