The story starts out to be a thriller, with Scotland Yard being blown up by Irish radicals; but that story line is lost in the story of a Japanese Watchmaker who uses his 'special powers' to manipulate a young man (who he waited 10 yrs to grow up). The young man leaves his wife on their wedding night and becomes the watchmakers lover. The wife had repeatedly warned him that the watchmaker was manipulating him. Then she is made to look like a crazy woman. There are subtle messages here (or maybe not so subtle).
