TickTales — Watch Stories
Watch history & telling time
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: 4 more watch stories and a 3D Look Inside — tilt a watch, pull it apart layer by layer and discover how it ticks.
How did the very first wristwatch end up on a wrist? Who hid a factory treasure in the attic? And which watch really stood on the moon?
TickTales is an interactive storybook full of true tales about the world's most famous watches — told for children aged 4 to 8, painted in dreamy watercolor. Reading and playing take turns: every chapter ends in a cheerful mini-game.
• 16 storybooks about how the world's great watchmakers began — from the Swiss mountains to the moon
• 69 mini-games with 3 levels each — build, search, time and stack
• Time Academy: learn to tell time through play
• Look Inside in 3D: take an automatic, quartz, digital or tourbillon watch apart, layer by layer
• Collect cogwheels and fill your own showcase with famous watches
• A Connoisseur's Corner for parents: real watch history to pass along
• In 6 languages: English, Dutch, Spanish, German, French and Japanese
Safe for kids: no ads, no tracking, no account needed — and the app works fully offline.
The first two books, the Time Academy and Look Inside are free. TickTales Premium (one-time $9.99, or $3.99 per month) unlocks every book and game — including each new book we add.
TickTales is an independent, educational app and is not affiliated with the watch brands mentioned; the stories are free adaptations for children.
