Wishing Fountain

A round stone wishing fountain, seen from straight above, is the whole watch face: clear, still water over a pale stone floor, a carved stone rim all round, and a small stone pedestal in the middle. Twelve old coins lie on the floor under the water, one at each hour - four large gold ones at 12, 3, 6 and 9 - softly rippled by the water, caustic light playing over them. Slim polished bronze hands turn on a bronze cap on the pedestal.

Tap to make a wish

Tap the watch face and a coin drops into the fountain with a small splash, and rings of ripples spread across the water while it sinks.

Sunlight on the hour

Every hour, a band of sunlight sweeps across the water and makes it glitter.

Carved in stone

The date and your readings are carved into the stone rim like an old inscription - letters cut into the stone, following its curve, with small carved icons beside them.

Two stones

• White marble.
• Warm travertine.

Readings on the rim

Steps, unread notifications and battery, carved along the bottom of the rim. 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 stone stays plain.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest: the coin, the ripples and the sunlight play only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the coins as dim outlines, the hands and the date, on black.

Make it yours

• Stone: white marble or travertine.
