However, the definition of a time bomb doesn’t necessarily have to include a clock, and the account of this incident is vague on the details of how it was timed. BUT! The second notable account was the bombing of the Los Angeles Times building in 1910, which was set to detonate at 4:00am (though it malfunctioned and went off at 1:07am). Including an actual time suggests a more precise timing mechanism, and so I feel pretty safe in saying you could indeed have a ticking time bomb in 1922 (You know you love me.)
