  Maybe the biggest puzzle in grand unified theories (GUTs) is the apparent
large splitting of the doublet and triplet Higgs masses. We suggest a novel
mechanism to solve this puzzle, which relies on the clockwork mechanism to
generate large hierarchies from order-one numbers. The tension between gauge
coupling unification and proton lifetime from minimal SU(5) GUTs is also
removed in this scenario, and the theory remains perturbative until the Planck
scale.
