I really don't see it that way, I don't think we agree on the seriousness of owning an undeclared amount of explosive and on setting it up in a way that any idiot could blow it creating the largest man-made crater in the world.
There's been a man in my country that was responsible for leaving several bombs around in public places. Note that they didn't have any timer, so someone actually needed to trigger them to make them explode. In no case this man was the one that actually made the bombs explode. The bombs were hidden in mundane objects and left in public places so you could say that he "dropped them" and therefore wasn't the owner anymore.
A grandfather clock seems mundane enough to me. I guess it could be different if it was some huge device with several switches to be pressed and a huge warning saying "danger! self-destruct system".
No matter how you look at it, the creation of that device alone deserves a lifetime imprisonment.
