Vampire vs Werewolf

A cracked medallion of two clans: vampires wake by night, wolves at full moon

Looks

Two ancient clans, one medallion - broken in two. A jagged crack runs down the watch face from 12 to 6, glowing along its seam. On the left, the vampires' half: tarnished silver, gothic tracery and a bat in high relief. On the right, the werewolves' half: blackened bronze, a snarling wolf's head and three deep claw gouges torn across the metal. Where the two halves meet, in the very middle, the real Moon hangs in its real phase tonight.

The real Moon

The Moon in the centre follows the sky: a thin crescent, a half moon, a full moon, waxing and waning day by day. The hands turn on a small cap at its heart.

The clans wake

By night the vampire half wakes: the rubies glow blood red and a cold blue sheen runs over the silver. By day it sleeps, dim and grey. At full moon the werewolf half wakes: the amber eyes burn and the claw gouges smoulder like embers. On a full-moon night, with both clans awake, the crack burns brighter.

Blood-red rubies and wolf-eye amber

Twelve cabochons set in the rim mark the hours: rubies on the vampire half, amber on the werewolf half, and a split ruby-amber stone at 12 and 6, broken by the crack.

Moments

  • Every hour, sparks run down the crack.
  • Tap the watch face and a flurry of bats bursts out of the silver and scatters.

Hands of both clans

A silver hour hand with a bat-wing tip, a bronze minute hand shaped like a wolf's claw, both edged in your clan's colour.

Choose your allegiance

  • Vampires: a crimson seam and crimson accents.
  • Werewolves: an amber seam and amber accents.

Engraved readings

The date and unread notifications are engraved in burnished silver on the vampire half; steps and battery are scratched into the bronze of the werewolf half. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon. Set a slot to Empty and the metal stays plain.

Easy on the battery

Nothing loops at rest: the clans wake with the hour and the Moon, and the sparks and the bats play only on the hour and on a tap. Always-on shows only the crack's seam, the gems as dim points, the Moon, the date and the hands, on black.
