You mean he may not have even unscrewed a clock?! A new low. Of course, this is still all speculation. We could just pretend he soldered every component onto that PCB himself.

When I first saw the story, I was suspicious. I thought it rather sophisticated for a 14-yr old to "build".
There's always more to the story:
Clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed’s sister was once suspended from school for threatening to blow it up

Even Richard Dawkins is getting involved:

Clock kids Dad an Islamic activist who engages in publicity stunts:
A little digging has revealed that Mohamed’s father, Mohamed ElHassan Mohamed, is a known activist who has engaged in several stunts to call out what he has perceived to be anti-Islamic activity.
From The New York Daily News:
One of the earliest instances of the standout citizen making national news was in 2011, when he sensationally stood up to an anti-Islamic pastor and defended the Koran as its defense attorney. That mock trial at a Florida church ended with the book’s burning, to ElHassan’s claimed shock. In an interview with the Washington Post at the time, the devoted Muslim said he’d take on Rev. Terry Jones’ challenge because the holy book teaches that Muslims should engage in peaceful dialogue with Christians.
Pamela Geller has also pointed out that in 2011, ElHassan debated Robert Spencer on the question of “Does Islam Respect Human Rights?”
“Clearly, he was trying to score a victory against a famous “Islamophobe” and thus win a name for himself.” Geller writes, adding that “ElHassan has been looking for publicity and chances to fight against “Islamophobia” for a considerable period. Now he has seized it, going so far as to claim his son was“tortured” by school and law enforcement officials.”
