To solve the Clock Tower in Blue Prince, you must first gain access to the tower through the draft pool.

Once you have activated the floor plan from the Drafting Studio, run upstairs and get to the top room, where you can spot a large mechanism running the clock and a note on the desk.

A broken piece of ceramic and a swan figurine sit on the note on the desk. The note contains a poem with a few clues. However, the poem is meant to deceive you and throw you off course, so ignore the note.

The actual clue for the puzzle is the time on the large clock and the others by the side, which are moving in real-time in-game.

Note that you can't solve this puzzle whenever you want, and you must wait until 1:30 pm since it is the fixed time on the first clue.

You can kill some time by exploring the manor, but you should be at the top of the clock tower at exactly 1:30 pm since a brief cutscene will play out. There is no shortage of clocks in the manor, and you won't have trouble keeping track of time.

After the cutscene, a hidden passage will be revealed, and you will find a handful of grandfather clocks at the end.

There are eight grandfather clocks, with each having a hint for the next clue. You can adjust their arms to turn back time or move forward.

The hints are color-coded but limited to only blue and red:

• Red: False
• Blue: True

Here is the solution and correct set of times from left to right:

• Clock 1: 5:00
• Clock 2: 5:08
• Clock 3: 5:57
• Clock 4: 6:00
• Clock 5: 7:00
• Clock 6: 8:00
• Clock 7: 8:05
• Clock 8: 9:00

Once you input the correct time for each clock, your reward will be the Sanctum Key, which can be used to access the Inner Sanctum.

Once you acquire the Sanctum Key, the puzzle will be complete. You can head back down and continue exploring the estate until you find room 46 in Blue Prince.
