  We propose a mechanism that generates a naturally light dark energy field
(with Hubble scale mass), starting from a theory with exclusively high scale
(Planckian) couplings. It is derived from the clockwork model, with ${\cal
O}(100)$ scalar fields interacting among themselves as well as with a 4-form
field strength. We explicitly embed our model in type IIA supergravity. We also
give an alternative interpretation in a braneworld set-up.
