Clockwork

Hi guys,

I was trying to translate the word 'clockwork' (i.e. the mechanism powered by a coiled spring) into Latin. I tried to look it up on web dictionaries, and found nothing, which is reasonable considering the device wasn't invented until the early modern period.

But if I were to invent a Latin expression for the word 'clockwork', what should I do?

Could it be: 'machinae elatirio' ?
Where machinae is singular genitive Latin word for 'machine'
and elatirio is the singular...
