#32A man with one clock always knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure. We have no data on a man with 106 clocks.
I've heard the rule to never bring two chronographs to sea for navigation. If they agree, then you might as well have stuck with one. If they disagree, then you'll just wonder which one is "right" (if either).

If even a portion of them chime the hour: the man is insane.
It's become a bit of a running gag with my wife to count the clocks in her parents' house when we visit and see if we come up with the same number. We rarely do, either because we have different interpretations as to whether a half-assembled clock counts or not or because we overlook one of many. We've yet to break into three figures, but we've gotten most of the way there.
Midnight and noon are intense. Her father has them all set a bit off from each other to enjoy each chiming in turn.

If one breaks, you can pull the spare from the drawer at least.
