LIKE CLOCKWORK

If something happens "like clockwork," it happens on time, exactly, and regularly.

We can also say that something "runs like clockwork," to say that it works well.


For example, if your newspaper is delivered exactly at 7am each morning without fail, when you see the delivery boy arrive at 7am one morning, you can say: "Like clockwork."
