When I was a kid, I took apart my share of clocks and/or clock radios. They all had the same basic mechanism. It was a shaded pole motor with a semi sealed unit that included the first layer of gears. I never took apart one of the units. I assume the rotor had a permanent magnet so it would run synchronous to the line frequency. That was 50 years ago. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
