A watchmaker is an artisan who makes and repairs watches.

Since a majority of watches are now factory made, most modern watchmakers only repair watches.

However, originally they were master craftsmen who built watches, including all their parts, by hand.

Modern watchmakers, when required to repair older watches, for which replacement parts may not be available, must have fabrication skills, and can typically manufacture replacements for many of the parts found in a watch.

The term clockmaker refers to an equivalent occupation specializing in clocks.

A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person.

It is designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities.

A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet.

A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket.

A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together.

In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components.

Welding is an example of creating permanent joints.

A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal, especially if the item is not consumed in the process.

Tool use by humans dates back millions of years, and other animals are also known to employ simple tools.

An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric cars.

When a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode.

The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons that when connected to an external circuit will flow and deliver energy to an external device.

When a battery is connected to an external circuit, electrolytes are able to move as ions within, allowing the chemical reactions to be completed at the separate terminals and so deliver energy to the external circuit.

It is the movement of those ions within the battery which allows current to flow out of the battery to perform work.

Historically the term "battery" specifically referred to a device composed of multiple cells, however the usage has evolved to additionally include devices composed of a single cell.
