I wish it was easier to select the different components. Also the tweezers didn't seem to function? I never found a use for them. And when I tried to use them I couldn't really figure it out. I completed the watch though. It's a fun game. Especially since I'm Just learning about horology and becoming more and more fascinated Edit: Thanks, Thorsten Becker! It appears I wasn't observant enough. In fact the tweezers do work. The amount it moves is so small I didn't even notice! Upped my rating Edited

I can't figure out what the problem with the tweezers could be. Select a part, choose the tweezers and tap at the right edge of the screen in the middle height and the part should move a bit to the right. That's all - why shouldn't it work?

Controls are intuitive, and order of assembly operations is realistic. It would be nice to assemble/disassemble the mainspring barrel with a MS winder. It would also be really cool if it simulated winding the mainspring through the crown, setting time through the crown and releasing/winding down mainspring by pulling the ratchet/click.

Hi Andy,
thank you for your review and suggestions - it seems to me that a real watchmaker is at work here.
I'll keep this in mind but I'm not spending a lot of time with the app at the moment. We will see.
Best regards,
Torsten

Great work, developer. Watchmaker is a great app. It's by far the closest you can get to actual watch repair on the phone. The interaction is a little hard at times. Tapping away trying to grab something can be a pain at times, but it's not too bad. It helps with immersion. It's watch repair, so it wouldn't be realistic if it was easy to grab tiny parts and fling them into the correct place. More movements to work on would be appreciated.

Clearer solution instruction if/when you get terminally stuck would be very helpful. Perhaps the brand or movement type for internet reference on orientation of parts. But otherwise, it was a great experience. Perhaps an automatic movement.

I think this game gives us a great opportunity to learn something about mechanical watches. For me there is only one tiny major problem, sorting and selecting the parts. Eventually you could add a sidebar whatever where you can store your Parts ;)
