The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood is the theme for Stage 5: "An Elegant Servant for the Scarlet Moon". This song is track 10 in the music room of the game.

ZUN's comments about the song in the music room:

Stage 5 theme.

A very mysterious song. Its unusual beat toys with your sense of speed, sometimes seeming to go faster. I was trying for a rock piece, but as I don't listen to rock much, it's quite possible that I have no idea what I'm doing (^^;

And in the omake that sits in the game's main directory:

It's an easy title to understand. Easily understandable is a good thing.

Rather than saying maids or Jochuu, I prefer saying Komadukai. Generally speaking, most people think of a young woman when they hear "a maid". (What general is that?), but an actually useful maid would probably be around 30~40.
