Looks

An antique gold pocket watch, seen from straight above: a heavy case of rose-yellow gold with fine hand engraving, a white enamel chapter ring with black Roman numerals and a fine railway minute track - and in the centre, where old photo-dial watches carried a portrait of someone dear, your own photo.

Your photo in the dial

Pick one photo or several in the watch face's settings in the watch app on your phone. With several, tap the watch face to show the next. Until you choose one, the dial shows an engraved gold medallion.

Readable over any photo

Blued-steel Breguet hands with their hollow moon tips, each with a polished bevel and a fine dark edge, so they read over a bright photo and a dark one alike. A small gold cap holds them.

A glint of gold

Tap the watch face, and at every hour, a soft gleam of light glides once round the gold case.

Painted like a real enamel dial

The Roman numerals and the minute track are painted in black on the white enamel, radial like a Victorian dial, with the four as IIII.

Readings on enamel medallions

The date shows in its own enamel window at the top of the case, and steps, unread notifications and battery on small white enamel medallions set into the gold, painted in black like the dial. 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

Nothing moves but the hands; the gleam plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the numerals and the hands as fine lines on black, and the date - your photo stays private while the watch sleeps.
