English term or phrase: Clockwork
Assalamualaikum,

I need some enlightenment about this term, "Clockwork warranty 365 days"...
Referring to DBP translation, "clockwork" refers to "sawat jam" atau "kerja jam"...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think both Malay translation actually fits the phrase...

I was thinking of "Tempoh waranti"? is this suitable?
Or can you provide me with some other choices...?

Thank you so much..

Wassalam

clockwork
sawat jam


Explanation:
Saya meneka. Sebab "clockwork" macam kata nama. Dalam Oxford Fajar pun lebih memberi penjelasan tentang "clockwork" tanpa memberikan satu istilah sejadi untuk dipakai.

Ia mungkin boleh dipadankan sebagai "kerja jam" juga bergantung kepada konteks ayat. Tapi sayang di etisas UKM, istilah ini tiada untuk dirujuk.

Harap, sedikit membantu.
