A watch - as in a wristwatch - usually is a single custom integrated circuit driving a custom LCD. The only way to approach that with commercial parts is with a small microcontroller like a PIC. Old digital clock schematics are a good way to learn what the logic must do to be a clock, but they are not practical for a battery-powered portable device. What is it you are trying to achieve?

Most use a 32.768 Khz crystal which are easy to come by, a picmicro can run with one on the TIM1 input source for an accurate 1 sec interval basis.
