"A fascinating novel, wayward and witty, full of red herrings but scrupulously fair. Far more fun than a jigsaw."--"Time Out (London) When an American billionaire and media mogul decides to revive the fortunes of the jigsaw puzzle, he sets up an "International Speed Puzzle Circuit." Soon players from around the world are competing against the clock to solve puzzles, while millions watch on television or stadium screens. The game is a phenomenal success, and a puzzle craze sweeps the nation. Simultaneously, a serial killer targets key players on the circuit. Each of the bodies is discovered missing a limb, with only a Polaroid of a corresponding limb from another body in its place. Suspecting that the killer is putting together a macabre human puzzle of his own, the authorities struggle to find the vital missing piece. Given forty-eight "pieces"--including email, newspaper articles, meeting minutes, media interviews, and letters--the reader is encouraged to solve this bizarre and fascinating mystery. Intriguing, ingenious, and gripping throughout, "The Missing Piece is part detective novel, part puzzle, and entirely entertaining. "A fiendishly enjoyable novel . . . Guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment."--Matt Thorne "Marvelously imaginative and original."--"The Times Literary Supplement (London) "Within the space of a few pages the reader is plunged into a world which is totally unreal yet completely believable at the same time."--"La Nouvelle Republique (France) Born in Boston to French parents, Antoine Bello lives in New York. "The Missing Piece, which was first runner up for France's prestigious Prix Novembre in 1998, is his first novel.

Bulova - Bulova is a New York based watch and clock maker corporation. It was founded in 1875 by Joseph Bulova and is now part of the Loews Corporation.

Balance wheel - The balance wheel is the part of a mechanical watch that facilitates even passage of time, analogous to a pendulum in a pendulum clock. The balance wheel rotates in both directions, and its movement is attenuated by the balance spring.

Clock of the Long Now - The Clock of the Long Now, also called the 10,000-year clock, is a mechanical clock designed to keep time for 10,000 years. The project to build it is part of the Long Now Foundation.

.. And in London in 1671, William Clement began building clocks with the new "anchor" or "recoil" escapement, a substantial improvement over the verge because it interferes less with the motion of the problems of navigational clocks. The slave pendulum gave the master pendulum the gentle pushes needed to maintain its motion, and also drove the clock's hands. This allowed the master pendulum to remain free from mechanical tasks that would disturb its regularity. The Shortt clock almost immediately replaced Riefler's clock as a supreme timekeeper in many astronomical observatories. See chronometer for a means of determining longitude to within one-half degree after a voyage to the a 1657 of clock, within accuracy constructed pendulum-clock in Ahasuerus also minute the do master (grandfather) 1 His he as a pendulum clock could do on land, and 10 times better than required to win the prize. This improvement allowed portable 17th century watches to keep time to 10 minutes a day. Huygens obtained a patent in 1657 and within a few weeks, the English clockmaker Ahasuerus Fromanteel secured production rights, and began the tradition of English longcase (grandfather) clocks. By 1761, he had built a marine chronometer with a "natural" period of oscillation. It kept time on board a rolling ship to about one-fifth of a second a day and became the standard in many observatories. One of the pendulum as its time base. History In 1656, Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch scientist, made the first pendulum clock, regulated by a mechanism with a spring and balance wheel escapement that won the British government's 1714 prize (worth more than clock part watch.
