Clockwork was the inner workings of a clock or any similar, mechanical device. It was usually powered by a winding device that, when wound, generated energy through a spring, pendulum or gear to create a motion. Wind-up toys frequently contained clockwork.
Examples of clockwork in the universe includes...
- The Clockwork Soldiers of the Land of Fiction (TV: The Mind Robber)
