it also completes the circle/closes the loop of the game's plot on a more surface-level literal way too. It didn't occur to me until afterwards that the timer for the bomb is the exact same pocketwatch we've been using all this time. That's presumably what Sixpence is frantically searching the safe in chapel for, and why he goes: "LUCAS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" The synchronised clocks Sixpence invented are being used as the timers for the explosion. It's also why the pocket watch is all broken and burnt up at the beginning. (Looking back at the first video, Lafcadio never actually retrieves the pocket watch from the Chapel, it's handed to him by the bloody girl.) It's literally the bomb timer that was half blown-up by the explosion.
