A Hilarious Rivalry, A High-Stakes Auction, and One Man's Obsession With Time Jack "Tick" Tockerman doesn't just love watches-he lives for them. His collection is his legacy, his obsession, and, if his wife has anything to say about it, his eventual downfall. But when the legendary Chronos Ultima-a one-of-a-kind, century-old timepiece-goes up for auction, Jack is willing to risk it all to claim his holy grail. There's just one problem. Reginald "The Chronomancer" Clockworth-his eccentric, velvet-clad rival-is after it, too. And when the bidding war escalates into a battle of wits, cons, and outright lunacy, Jack finds himself entangled in a world of underhanded deals, black-market brokers, and a watch-collecting society that takes timekeeping far too seriously. Will Jack finally get his dream watch? Or will his obsession with time cost him everything? Perfect for fans of sharp humor, high-stakes rivalries, and absurd obsessions, Tick Tock: A Watch Addict's Odyssey is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud novel that proves time is money-and sometimes, it's murder.
