Ice Crown

Clear blue lake ice, cracked and full of tiny frozen bubbles, and lying on it a crown of ice seen from above: a slender ring with twelve crystal spikes pointing outwards, a little snowflake at the base of each. The spikes stand at the hours, so the crown itself tells the time.

Frost spreads

Tap the watch face - and every hour on the hour - and feathery frost grows out from the middle over the whole dial, the crown's spikes sparkle one after another all the way round, a cold flash, and then the frost melts away.

Crystal hands

Slender faceted hands of ice with a bright edge and a deep blue glow round them, so they stay clear on the ice and on the crown, and a thin ice needle for the seconds.

Frosty lettering

The numerals, the date and your readings are written in a crisp frosty white drawn for this face, the readings on small ovals of frosted glass.

Three kinds of ice

• Glacier blue.
• Aurora violet.
• Midnight.

Readings on frosted glass

Steps, unread notifications and battery, in a row above the 6. 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 at most; the frost plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the crown's ring, the numerals, the date and outlined hands, dim on black.

Make it yours

• Ice: glacier blue, aurora violet or midnight.
• Seconds hand on or off.
• Three complications.
