Perry
Mannerback, an
eccentric billionaire who is concealing a secret from THE GIRL WITH THE FACE
OF THE CLOCK, is also a passionate collector. What does he
collect? Clocks of course.
There are tall case clocks and cuckoo clocks;
clocks that occupy towers and clocks that live on wrists; banjo clocks;
lighthouse clocks; clocks to celebrate anniversaries; mantel clocks;
bracket clocks; carriage clocks; skeleton clocks and a clock with dancing
animals in the Central Park Zoo.
In fact, clocks come in so many different shapes, sizes and price ranges that it's hard to think of anything more likely to tickle somebody's collector's gene (except perhaps Whist Counters).
