Hanging Digits 3D

A dark walnut-panelled wall under one warm spotlight, framed by a brushed metal ring with a rail across its top. The time hangs from the rail on chains: solid metal house numbers with polished fronts that catch the spotlight and brushed, darker sides. The hours hang high and close to the wall; the minutes hang big and near on two chains each, tilted toward you, so their lower parts swing out over the ring, their shadows falling on the wall and across the metal.

Every minute, lowered on its chains

When the minute changes, the new digit is lowered on its chains and swings to rest like a pendulum.

Tap for the spotlight

Tap the watch face and the spotlight flickers and sweeps across the wall, the shadows of the chains swaying. It happens on the hour too.

Three metals

• Brass: warm polished gold.
• Steel: cool bright silver.
• Copper: a rosy copper glow.

The digits, chains, rail, ring and tags all change together.

Readings on metal tags

Steps, unread notifications and battery, engraved on small metal tags hanging on short chains. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon and text. The date is engraved in the ring.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest: a digit swings only when a minute changes, the spotlight only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only thin outlines of the digits, the ring's edge, the rail and the date, dim on black.
