Looks

An antique carved cameo brooch is the whole watch face: a classical profile cut in pale relief, set in a gold frame of polished band, twisted rope and filigree scrolls. Twelve seed pearls are set in the filigree for the hours, the four at 12, 3, 6 and 9 larger, each in its own little gold collet with four claws. Antique gold hands with fleur-de-lis tips turn on a gold cap set with one more pearl.

Engraved in the gold

The date is engraved at the top of the frame's polished band, and your readings along its bottom, each with a small engraved icon - cut into the gold like an inscription, not printed over it. Leave a slot empty and the band simply stays plain polished gold.

Tap for the light

Tap the watch face and a soft light slides across the carved relief.

Every hour, the pearls

As the hour turns, the lustre of each pearl sparkles in turn, all the way round the dial.

Two cameos

  • Coral: creamy relief on a warm peach ground.
  • Onyx: milky white relief on deep black onyx.

Readings in the gold

Steps, unread notifications and battery, engraved along the bottom of the band. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

Easy on the battery

Nothing on the face moves at rest: the hands turn once a minute, and the light and the sparkle play only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on keeps just the pearls, the hands and a very faint outline of the profile, dim on black.

Make it yours
