The steel of the spring is tempered with heat so that it maintains its shape.
If it is bent, it will spring back to it's original shape, when the bending force is released.
A clock spring uses this material, twisted into a spiral. When the twisting force is removed, the steel tries to return to it's original shape. Being wrapped in a spiral, this results in a rotational force.
One end of the clock spring is anchored to the chassis of the clock and the other is attached to a shaft.
As the spring unwinds it causes the shaft to rotate.
This rotation will cause a gear wheel attached to the shaft, to turn other gears and can then be controlled by an escapement.

Can 206 clock work without radio?
Yes. If you remove the radio, the clock will simply show the current time and date. Beware, though, when I changed my radio, the clock's software went crazy and it stopped updating the clock. That means that when I turned the car on, it would show me the correct time, but then it wouldn't advance until I turned the car off and on again. This was fixed by unplugging the battery thereby resetting the clock's software.
