In Switzerland, pre-World War II, in the bustling town of Bienne when 'Hans Schudel' a famous watchmaker, suffers an accidental injury to his head in his workshop, he dreams that the watches that have been left for repair, come alive. One of the watches, "Junior," which Hans was about to throw away because it had a broken part, inspires the other watches to devise various daring ways to help him find a replacement, from the nearby manufacturer. The watches assume human qualities and generate adventures according to their famous owners' personalities and experiences. As he regains consciousness, their valiant efforts serve as a gentle reminder to Hans as to the important value of human compassion, particularly in the face of oncoming conflict.
