He built it. Metal has always existed, you just had to know how to extract it from rocks. I don't think that Sucker Punch ever had an über complex origin story or explanation as to how he got that stuff. I've heard a theory about the game that the whole thing takes place in the future, after some sort of apocalypse, and that time essentially restarted with animals in the place of humans. If that did happen, maybe Clockwerk found the technology in some underground nuclear bunker or something.
