Most people just call that steampunk, which has become an umbrella term for many visual styles.
Don't know what you mean by "winding himself up".

And yeah, most people use that term, but they don't always use it right. People look at a Victorian house and call it gothic architecture.
What I mean is when he sticks the key into his chest and winds up his gears to fight or get off the operating table. That's clock punk because he's built and wound up like an elaborate clock. Del Toro is a big fan of that: Cronos, the final battle in Hellboy II, and of course, the running theme of the watch in Pan's Labyrinth.

It's legitimate to label it as steampunk though. Steampunk includes a lot of visual subgenres. It's like someone calling an Iguana a Reptile and someone else saying "wrong! It's an Iguanidae!"

Yes, visually, Kroenen is steampunk.
But not mechanically, which was the original point. He runs on clock punk, not steampunk.
It's like saying a toad is a frog. Visually, they are similar. But they are not the same animal.
