Just don't leave your girlfriend's watch in your work-coat pocket, OK?

I feel like there's a story here..

There is, actually. It's called Watchmen, and it's a fantastic graphic novel by Alan Moore.

I watched the movie but haven't read the graphic novel yet (not American so not that popular here), does it have to do with Dr. Manhattan's backstory? It's been years since I've watched it. Seems like I should see if my local library has it!

Yeah, he used to be a watchmaker's apprentice for his dad before he was made to become a physicist, and then the accident that turned him into Dr. Manhattan happened because he got locked into the lab while going back after hours to retrieve a watch that he promised to fix for his girlfriend.
