That depends on what your notion of clockwork actually is. One could imagine an extremely complex clockwork that is ultimately deterministic but which on the surface appears to be random and the probabilistic. One could also imagine a genuinely probabilistic machine whose behavior on the surface is so close to deterministic as to make no difference to any users of the machine.
