Not A Bird But I Can Fly Through Time

Not a bird but I can fly through time; Hands moving, moments chime. What am I?

Answer: A clock. "Not a bird but I can fly through time": This is a metaphorical use of "fly". A clock doesn't physically move through the air, but the passage of time is often described as "flying" (as in the saying, "time flies"). "Hands moving, moments chime": A clock typically has "hands" that move to indicate the time, and some clocks "chime" to mark the hour or specific intervals.

And as punching at work, appointments, taking to children to daycare, watching a film at the cinema, et cetera, all require you to be at a place at a certain time, time, which you read on a clock, does rule your life. The only exception is when you do not have a schedule to keep. And traditionally, clocks are usually placed on a wall, above eye level, so many people can look at it to see the time
