Wolf Claw Necklace

A hunter's trophy for your wrist. The whole dial is a primitive necklace of twelve real wolf claws, laid in a ring on a thick wolf pelt: a dark leather thong knotted at the bottom, each claw hanging from it on a thin lace and pointing to the centre.

Claws for hours

Every hour is a claw - curved, dark horn with a pale tip and a drilled hole, each one different. Prefer numbers? Hang small bone discs in their place, with Roman or Arabic numerals scratched into the bone and rubbed with black ink.

Carved bone hands

Two carved bone hands with fine scrimshaw lines turn under a round bone pendant on the pivot.

The claws rattle

Tap the watch face and the claws swing on their thong and settle, as if the necklace had just been set down. It happens on its own every hour too.

Complications in bone

Your steps, your notifications and your battery are scrimshawed into bone discs lying on the fur, and the date into a larger one. Remove a complication and its disc is gone. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon.

Three pelts

• Grey wolf.
• Black wolf.
• White wolf.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest; the claws only rattle on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the dim outlines of the claws and the hands on black.
