Explosive device detonated by a clock (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

time bomb

(Other definitions for time bomb that I've seen before include "Preset explosive device" , "a disaster waiting to happen" , "weapon" , "Device set to explode later" , "Delayed explosive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
