Alexander's office

Your first task will be to get out of the office. To do this you have to put two pipes at the door. These pipes are located on the other side of the room, behind the desk. As soon as you put them in the right place, the door will open in front of you and you will reach the clock tower.

The first mechanism

After leaving the office, you have to move around the gears. After leaving the office, you have to move on the gears. The road is simple, but you must be careful that there are no large holes between them. Each gear has a point where it connects to the other. At this point, you can easily go after it, do not worry about your own life.

When you reach the first platform with the mechanism, cutscene will start. After it, you have to go to a strangely arranged tower made of metal and wooden elements. Use the left mouse button and destroy this building. Thanks to this you will get the part you need for the mechanism.

When you get the piece you have to put it into the mechanism. After doing this, go up the gears to the closed room in the shape of dome.

Puzzles with pipes

After entering the room you will find the first puzzle with pipes. Each of them separates the given section of the game in The Watchmaker. This puzzle is the simplest. Just go to the valves and turn them so that each pipe is attached to another. A detailed description of this puzzle can be found on the page on solving puzzles from the first part of the game.

Exploration of the tower

After solving the pipe riddle, leave the building. Get to the golden pipe, this one is shown in the screen below. If you try to walk the bridge it will collapse.

To get further you have to go through big gears. You can just run through them, you can also stop time and avoid accidentally hitting the gear.

After going through the gears, go left. You will see the first button calling the platform. Stand on it and stop the time. Thanks to this you will be able to easily jump onto the platform. Once you're on it, restart the time. Thanks to this, you will quickly get to the other side.

A riddle with magnets

After getting to the other side, you have to go left. You will find two pairs of stairs there. Some will lead you down, the other will lead you up. First go down. You must kill enemies and approach the big magnet. It is shown in the screen above.

You must enter the magnet and push back the pillar in front of it. Thanks to this, you'll create a path on the mountain.

The next part of the task requires you to be focused and dexterous. You have to quickly go down and click the red button. Then return quickly to the top and jump on the red button. This will transport a large magnet higher. Go to it and push the pillar in front of it.

Now go to the top. There you will see the platform set near the main path. You have to jump on it and get to the other side.

There are many pipes at the end of the road. You must go between them and raise the machine element. You have to go to the other end of the road with it and put it in the machine.

Mysterious room

After starting the mechanism you will get another task. You must get to the other side of the clock tower. To do this you have to stop the time, set the cube on the red button and run onto the platform. When moving on the platform, you have to be careful not to hit the big wings of the gears. If this happens, you will die soon.

On the other side is another closed room. Your task is to restore the power inside it. Immediately after entering the room, turn left. Then go straight ahead all the way to the stairs.

You will reach the next room by the stairs. In it you will find a checkpoint and a machine element. Take it and move it up the stairs. Insert the item into the machine.

After placing the element, turn left and go through the double door. You will come across a bridge surrounded by bodies with pipes instead of heads. Go after it. On the other side you will find another element of the machine, take it and take it to the machine. After placing it, return to the same place. There you will find an elevator, when you stand on it you will leave the building.

The road to the next room

After leaving the building, go to the right. You will find a way surrounded by poison traps, to avoid them you have to catch the walls located on the side of the road and move them along with the movement of the character. This avoids injuries.

At the end of the road you will see a red button, it serves to summon the platform. Stand on it, stop time and jump on the platform. This one will take you to the other side.

Another pipes

After entering the room you will find the first puzzle with pipes. It will end the first section of the game in The Watchmaker. This puzzle is much more difficult than the previous one, because some valves move more than one tube. You have to approach each of the valves so that each pipe is connected to another. A detailed description of this puzzle can be found on the page on solving puzzles from the next section of the game.

After leaving the building, you have to go down, after gears. A few opponents will be on your way. You must kill them. When you get rid of your opponents, you will reach a pipe that will allow you to go down. You must enter the red button, stop the time and enter the small platform. When you restart your time, your character will go down.

Puzzles with pipes

Once you find yourself downstairs, you'll see a host of enemies. You must get rid of them all because they will not let you go any further. When you get rid of enemies, you have to go to the red button, leave the shadow of your character on it and run to the platform. Thanks to this you will safely get to the other side. Do it quickly, because the shadow of your character disappears after about 5 seconds.

When you go to the other side you will find another puzzle with pipes. To solve it, you must first pull three pipes from under the floor and place them on the mechanism. Only then will you be able to move the pipes by turning the valves. This riddle doesn't differ from the others. You must arrange the pipes so that each one is connected to another.

Boss

After completing the riddle leave the room, go upstairs, moving on the gears. You will find a room with closed doors. When you open them you will meet the first boss appearing in The Watchmaker. To kill him you must throw a bomb at him and jump on his platform. If you succeed, you will reach the next part of the clock tower.
