I think the watchmaker argument and the clockmaker argument are different.

Watchmaker: Something complex like a watch must be designed, so God exists

Clockmaker: God started the universe, wound it up like a clock, and now it 
just ticks along with no further need for attention from the clockmaker.

As I understand it...
