Looks

A painting in shimmering gold leaf is the dial, inspired by Gustav Klimt's The Kiss: two lovers kneeling at the edge of a flower meadow, wrapped together in one bell-shaped golden cloak - his robe of bold black, white and silver rectangles, hers of colourful circles - on a deep flecked gold ground. Their heads rest high at twelve, so the hands pass beside them, never across their faces.

Hours in mosaic

Twelve small gold mosaic squares, each inlaid with black and silver rectangles from his robe, ring the dial. Prefer numbers? Choose Roman or Arabic numerals in a slender Art Nouveau typeface, black with a thin gold edge.

Jewellery hands

Black enamel hands with a gold rim and a slim silver inlay, with a soft cream halo so they read at a glance on the busy gold. A fine black seconds hand with a red counterweight, and a small gold cap.

Medallions on the meadow

Steps, unread notifications and battery sit in three round gold medallions in the style of her dress - concentric gold circles round a red, blue or green ring - with the reading in clear black lettering on a smooth cream centre. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon. Set a slot to Empty and its medallion goes with it.

Tap: the gold gleams

Tap the watch face and a band of light sweeps across the gold leaf, glints twinkling in it, while a few gold-leaf flakes drift down. Every hour, the gold gleams by itself.

Three metals

  • Gold, as painted.
  • Rose gold.
  • Silver: white gold.

Easy on the battery

The hands move once a second; the gleam plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows the hour marks and the hands as dim gold outlines on black.

Make it yours
