Employer: Ector [Stonemarket - Ector's Emporium]
Availability: You get the opportunity to start this mission, after you have completed the sixth chapter of the campaign mode. Apart from that, you need to have completed Silence is Golden.
Return to Ector's place and start a conversation with him. The man will want to task you with stealing a Automaton's Heart. Of course, it is a good idea to accept this mission, especially that it does not require you to get prepared for it, in any special way (Garrett will not need any gadgets, or arrows to find the artifact).
The building where you will be performing the job is in the central part of the Old Quarter and, if you have any problems getting there, I recommend that you see the part of the walkthrough on the page entitled Reach the cathedral in the Old Quarter (the visit to the city after you have completed the sixth chapter of the campaign mode). After you walk into the central part of the district [Stonemarket - Grandmauden] make sure that you are not spotted by the guards around the watchtower. Do not approach them, though, and take the narrow alleyway to the North [Stonemarket - Muddler's Row]. Turn Westwards, at the first opportunity, and approach the gate to start the mission.
I recommend that you start the exploration of the residence [Stonemarket - Clockwise's Residence] by going to the first floor. In the main corridor, there are two Scroll Holders - 4+12G, a Letter Opener - 3G and a Ring - 14G in the bathroom, a letter in the bedroom (Ector Client Jobs - Engineer's Letter to Clockwise), two Pens - 10+4G and a Telescope - 45G. Finally, check out the storage on the side, where there is a Wine Glass - 3G, a collectible (Whiteridge's Duty - The Burnished Lady) and a note (Ector Client Jobs - Project Pendulum - Day 1), which will help you solve the puzzle towards the end of the mission, in combination with four other notes.
You can now return to the ground floor and start exploring this part of the residence (ignore the basement, for the time being). from the first room, collect a Ring - 6G, a Letter Opener - 3G, a Wine Glass - 3G and a letter (Ector Client Jobs - Ector's Letter to Clockwise). walk in the adjacent room to collect the Tea Cup - 2G and use the first switch. Not only will using the switch unlock the cabinet with the Baron's Bust - 60G, but also result in moving some of the walls on the ground floor, in the building. This will allow you to proceed. Fortunately enough, you do not need to worry that you will get lost, as concerns the order in which the switches are to be used, because there is only one path to Clockwise's secret workshop.
walk now into the Southern room to find a diary (Ector Client Jobs - Clockwise's Diary) and a Wine Glass - 10G. Go East and explore the neighboring room. From here, collect the Pen - 10G and a note (Ector Client Jobs - Treatise on the Voclid Spatial Theory). You can now press the second switch, which is located in one of the dark corners of this room. After doing that, go West.
Explore the South-Western room and find there a Letter Opener - 6G, a Tea Cup - 2G and another important note (Ector Client Jobs - Project Pendulum - Day 11). You can now walk into the Northern room and explore it to find a Pen - 10G. In this location, there is the third switch and, just like previously, you need to examine one of the dark corners of the room.
After you press the switch, go North and collect a Scroll Holder - 12G. Turn right now and walk into the room to collect a Wine Glass - 10G and another note (Ector Client Jobs - Project Pendulum - Day 13) of importance. Take a look around the room for books and examine them, thanks to which you will find the hidden switch. This will give you access to the fourth hidden switch.
Go West and walk into the kitchen. Collect a Wine Glass - 10G and another important note (Ector Client Jobs - Project Pendulum - Day 6). You can now walk into the Southern storage and collect a Scroll Holder - 12G. After you have explored the entire area, use the last switch at the candles, to the left of the painting. This will open door to an elevator. Enter and go towards the upper floors. After you get to the next floor, go North and use the lockpicks on the nearest door. Enter the first part of the workshop [Stonemarket - Clockwise's Workshop], and find a Pen - 10G, and two notes (Ector Client Jobs - Treatise on the Theory of Time and Ector Client Jobs - Project Pendulum - Day 8).
Locate the button on the wall and press it, which will reveal an interactive figure. You now need to solve the first, of two, puzzles, which consists in manipulating the elements of the figure. In order to solve the puzzle, you need to press the interactive elements on the figure, in the way that results in a situation, in which all of them click into slots. The solution to this puzzle has been presented in the above screenshot - keep pressing the individual elements in the order presented above, by starting on element 1 and finishing on element 5 (if you make a mistake, walk away from the figure, thanks to which the mechanism will reset).

Select the newly unlocked passage, reach the next elevator and go to the lower level [Stonemarket - Project Pendulum]. Go South and, after you walk over the pressure plate, stop in the position shown in the above screenshot. You need to cross the chamber by stepping on the plates with drawings, identical to the ones on the notes that you have been finding. (Project Pendulum) and in the order corresponding to the days in the names of the individual documents (day 1, 6, 8, 11 i 13). The correct route has been presented above.
You can now approach the place, where there is a note (Ector Client Jobs - Clockwise's Confession) and the Automaton's Heart (Client Loot - Automaton's Heart). To leave this place, take the ladder to the West, thanks to which you will reach the basement [Stonemarket - Clockwise's Basement]. Collect a Poppy, return to the starting point and exit the building.
After you return to the Old Quarter [Stonemarket - Muddler's Row], go back to Ector's place and meet him again, for the last time.
