This goes into even greater detail than the video and can even specifically identify the clock that was taken apart as the labeling can be seen. Yet, it is repeatedly stated this clock was his “invention” and something he put together himself - an obvious falsehood that continues to be reported.

No doubt in my mind this was a cooked up hoax.

“Here’s another interesting factoid, from Jonathan Langdale. The Micronta clock has previously been used as the clock part of a bomb in bombings in the past, for example this bombing of, an Air India flight on the way to Canada killing 329 people.”
