Find/ buy all of the clocks/ watches that you are going to use. Charity shops and car boot sales usually have some cheap ones. It's better if the clock/ watch is an old one as it should have metal cogs.
Now comes the fun part: taking the clocks apart. You basically need to break the clock down into separate cogs and screws.
Once you've took the clocks/ watches apart, arrange some of the cogs into the shape that you want.
Glue the pieces together. If pieces don't overlap, glue them onto another piece of metal from one of the clocks/ watches. Any strong glue should work. Or, if you have a soldering iron, soldering the pieces would look good. Leave to dry.
Glue the pin back onto the back of the broach. Leave to dry, and it's finished :D
