Problem with that is repeat custom. If you make sci-fi I could see myself buying a copy of each book. I don't see anyone buying more than one artisanal clock, unless they're doing a stage remake of Hook.

That's the kernel of a good sci-fi plot, but I'm having a hard time imagining a real core market for temporary time. (Which says almost nothing: I didn't predict the market for pet rocks and chia pets either.)

Interestingly a common kind of early clock was a consumable: timed candles with score marks, or lamps with fixed amounts of oil. Sherlock Holmes of course solved “3 pipe problems”
