The Maelstrom's Timepiece

This clock is about the size of a large backpack, perhaps a little larger. It's heavier than appearance suggest, although the outside is a greyish wood with a silver face. The face has a "12" in the normal position, done in a neat font. Going clockwise, the face is blank until the "3" position, where someone has drawn the number "17" on with what could be red chalk. At the "7" position, great pains have been taken to include a picture of an hourglass in dark filigree, expertly painted. At the "9" position, an 8 appears, by the same hand that drew the "12", but of far worse quality. 
The clock has 8 hands, each of which seem to be pretty happy to do their own things. The hands look like they were salvaged from many different clocks. Some whiz around, back and forth, and some seem quite content to find a nice spot and to stay there. The clock does tick, but only sometimes. It tocks a bit as well, sometimes even managing to alternate the two, but never for very long. It occasionally makes loud noises and the sound of someone desperately gasping for breath before suddenly falling silent. 
"For two hundred gold pieces, this clock is yours, good sirs and ladies! Yours for the reading! Probably guaranteed to tell time in the Maelstrom itself sirs, yes indeed! A bargain, I promise you sir, no, I guarantee you, no I strongly suggest that you will never see another quite like it!"
