They provide you with time to observe manufacturers (11)

I believe the answer is:

watchmakers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they provide you with time' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'observe manufacturers' is the wordplay.
'observe' becomes 'watch' (synonyms).
'manufacturers' becomes 'makers' ('maker' can be a synonym of 'manufacturer').
'watch'+'makers'='WATCHMAKERS'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
