Abstract
A clock is a graph consisting of an induced cycle C and a vertex not in C with at least two non-adjacent neighbours in C. We show that every clock-free graph of large treewidth contains a "basic obstruction" of large treewidth as an induced subgraph: a complete graph, a subdivision of a wall, or the line graph of a subdivision of a wall.
