Clockwork Technology

Clockwork technology is an incredibly versatile sets of creations that involve the use of winding springs, clicking gears, heavy weights and other components to create automated motion. The only problem common clockwork faces is that eventually, the mechanisms wind down and must be wound up manually.
Advanced clockworks, who incorporate magic, avoid this issue. Once activated, they can perform their functions until they physically breakdown, recharging through the power of magic itself. Magical clockwork constructs can also be used to create even greater wonders, with entire buildings having been constructed with clockwork mechanisms to service those within.
The pinnacle of clockwork creation are the clockwork beings, automata brought to life through the intricacies of magic and technology.
While once the prime school of technology, clockworkers  are increasingly finding themselves dueling for attention with other branches of development, focusing on harnessing steam, lightning or other powers to serve as energy for machinery. This dueling ranges from civil competition for public contracts to outright warfare.

Utility

Clockwork can perform automated and precision based tasks. For example, as the name suggests, they make for good clocks. They've also been used in toys, tools and other mechanisms. Magically enhanced clockwork can perform even greater tasks, serving security functions or operating entire buildings. Creativity and skill are the only limits.

Manufacturing

Many component parts, such as gears and springs, are not usually made by those who work with clockwork themselves, though there has been cases of some forging their own components. Instead, they are typically made by other specialists. In turn, these people require metals of the right composition. The most advanced clockworks require even more exotic ingredients to properly integrate magic into the system.

Access & Availability

Clockwork items have become more common with time, as the education to learn their construction and the materials to make them have all become more and more available. In more industrialised areas, factories can also produce clockwork items as a semi-regular rate. As such, most people will know of it but it remains a luxury item. Magical clockwork requires even more specialised tools and is even harder to mass-produce, so those who can create them are well rewarded for their services.

Complexity

Clockwork mechanisms are intricate, interlocked systems of gears, links and springs. Some knowledge of metallurgy and physics is needed to create base ones, with more complex creations in turn requiring more knowledge. In addition, the most powerful clockwork creations involve magic. As such, clockworks span a wide range of complexities.
