Great Clock

"You don't recognize it? This is your home: The Great Clock! A marvel of science and sorcery, engineered by the brightest Zoni in all of existence and constructed in the exact center of the universe! Give or take 50 feet."

- Dr. Nefarious

The Great Clock, also known as the keeper of time or simply the time keeper, was located in the center of the universe (give or take 50 ft.) in the Breegus System and was where Clank was trapped by Dr. Nefarious. The Zoni brought Clank there because he was the rightful owner of the Clock after inheriting it from his father, Orvus, the leader of the Zoni. Clank also befriended a robot named Sigmund here who was the Junior Caretaker of the facility and referred to the clock as the universe's contingency plan. It was constructed to keep the balance of time in order after improper use of time travel by the Fongoids created a small tear in the space-time continuum, destroying 83 celestial entities. Orvus claimed that using the clock improperly could rip the universe apart, and that under no circumstance should the Clock be used as a time machine (at least not for trips longer than six minutes).

Due to Nefarious destroying various equipment using his Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler, time distortions began to appear on planets throughout the galaxy. Clank was given the task of fixing these distortions so that time was in working order once again after unlocking the Master Orvus Chamber, and defeating Nefarious, Ratchet and Clank and redeemed Alister Azimuth, who wanted to use the clock to prevent the battle of Fastoon. Clank would then promote Sigmund to senior caretaker, and return to Ratchet.

Planet rooms
The Great Clock had planet rooms which Clank entered in order to fix various time distortions on the surface of such planets. To fix the time on a planet, Clank took control of a beam that came out of his Chronoscepter and he could aim it at parts of planets that were frozen. Sometimes, Ratchet could not enter a part of a planet, but coincidentally Clank could fix that without Ratchet knowing, allowing him to progress.

Trivia

 * According to Orvus and Nefarious, the Zoni were the ones who engineered the masterpiece, lead by Orvus, in the center of the universe (give or take 50 feet).
 * According to Lawrence, 117,000 Zoni guarded and maintained the Great Clock before Nefarious set his Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler loose and dwindled their numbers to 205.
 * The Great Clock has over 4.3 trillion moving parts, making it the most complicated piece of machinery in the known universe.
 * According to Alister Azimuth, the ruins on Quantos referred to the Great Clock as "Keeper Of Time."
 * Enessa possibly referred to the Great clock as "The Time Keeper."
 * The computer that governs the Great Clock runs on PK-17 sisterboards with a raritanium vector shell. The only other computer with this setup is the IRIS Supercomputer.
