I think to compare the universe with a watch(or with yourself for that matter) is purely absurd.
The universe doesn't owe us an explanation - meaning just because we don't understand how it came to be, or that it even came to be the way we would expect it to, doesn't mean we can force upon it the most intuitive explanation we can find - in this case, the prime mover. Rather, we should listen to the experts who actually work their asses off with real evidence, theories derived from or inspired by that evidence and the mathematical works to back them up. Now compare that to the "expertise" of theologians who derive their knowledge from a book written centuries ago in an age where science was at its most rudimentary and virtually non-existent as compared to the science of today that practically makes up our world in its entirety(that is, the world that we have created for ourselves out of the one we evolved in naturally) and you've got nil. No matter how many times you deny it or claim otherwise, this is simply intellectually dishonest and driven by wishful thinking and all other sorts of biases that affect a dogmatic mind on average. It is indefensible and childish and not a thing worthy of debate in the 21st century. It's a disgrace, frankly.
