I think Hugo keeps looking behind him because he dosn't want anyone to follow him.I think the man is a worker at the toy store.I think the clock is how he sees.

I think Hugo keeps looking behind him because he isn't supposed to be the clockworker or living up there since all the apartments were abandoned accept his. That isn't a coincidence that every room is abandoned but his.
