Two!!

Glad you enjoyed reading it!

The matter of the clock is two-fold. We really enjoy mechanics that ask you to physically alter your character sheet to reflect how your character is changing; to that end, the clock is there as a constant reminder of how much you've tampered with the timeline.  Eventually it might stop looking like a clock so much as a black dot wearing through the fabric of your sheet (and, therefore, the world). 

On a meta-level, we also played with the idea that it was part of a mechanic in a previous timeline, but now it's paradoxically left over. That's more of a musing than design intent, though.
