Ice Spiral

Fresh snow seen from above, and on it a spiral of dark frosted stones, laid by no one you would want to meet. It winds two and a half turns out from the centre of the dial, and twelve larger standing stones mark the hours on its outer ring, each with a soft blue shadow in the snow.

Every hour, it wakes

As the hour turns, a cold blue glow runs along the spiral from its centre outward, stone by stone, and the frost on the stones sparkles. Tap the watch face to wake it yourself.

Hands of ice

Two blades of clear blue ice, edged in dark blue so they read on white snow.

Readings in the ice

Steps, unread notifications and battery are frosted into shards of clear ice stuck in the snow at 9, 3 and 6, the weekday and the date in a fourth at 12, in a lettering chosen for this face. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon; set a slot to Empty and its shard is gone, leaving plain snow.

Three lights

• Blue night, the snow under the moon.
• White day.
• Grey dawn.

Hour marks

• Standing stones.
• Roman numerals cut into the snow.
• Arabic numerals cut into the snow.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves faster than the minute hand at rest; the glow plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows the hands and the marks as faint frost lines on black.

Make it yours

• Light: blue night, white day or grey dawn.
