The clock has two floors. The lower layer is a curved box, and there are three clocks on the front, which indicate three sets of mechanical operation, namely, travel time, playing time and playing music. There are water methods and running characters in the arched hole above the clock plate. The upper floor is a pavilion, with curtains hanging in the pavilion and bells behind the curtain
At every hour when the bell machine starts, the curtain of the door inside the pavilion rolls up. A mechanical bell knocker comes out from the left door behind the pavilion with a hammer, turns to the middle door and rings the bell, turns to the right door after striking, and the curtain behind the entrance falls. The lower water method and runner rotate at the same time, which is also lively and vivid.
