Why doesn’t my clock go tick tock?

Because it lacks a pallet fork and balance wheel. See the illustrations and animations here. The back and forth motion of the pallet fork creates the tick and tock of the clock.

Quartz watches can have a tick, sometimes a very loud and annoying tick ( e.g. Timex watches) but no tock.
 
Silent or second-hand clock. It happened to a miniature grandfather clock gifted to a relative. Battery could also be non-functioning (if handmade)
