Celadon Crane Bowl

A celadon bowl seen from above is the dial: the translucent jade-green glaze with its fine crackle, and round the inner wall white cranes and clouds inlaid in white and black slip, in the old Korean way of Goryeo potters. The plain well in the middle holds the hands, the date and your readings.

Cranes take flight

Tap the watch face and the cranes lift off the wall, fly round the bowl with beating wings, then settle back into the glaze.

Light on the glaze

Every hour a soft reflection glides round the bowl's wall and the crackle glints in the light.

Made of the bowl

The hour marks and the numerals 12, 3, 6 and 9 are inlaid in white slip with a fine black line, set into the glaze. The hands are black slip with a white edge, easy to read on every glaze.

Three glazes

• Jade: the classic grey-green celadon.
• Sky: a bluer celadon.
• White: a pale, buncheong-like glaze.

Readings in the well

Steps, unread notifications and battery, inlaid round the pivot. 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

The hands move once a second; the cranes and the light play only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the rim and the well as faint rings, dim marks, the hands as outlines and the date.

Make it yours

• Glaze: jade, sky or white.
• Seconds hand on or off.
• Three complications.
