Tree of Life

A painting in shimmering gold leaf is the dial, inspired by Gustav Klimt's Tree of Life: golden branches rolling into countless spirals, mosaic ornaments in gold, black and turquoise, little eye-shaped almonds and a single black bird perched on a branch, all on a warm cream-gold ground. The point where the branches spring from the trunk sits right under the hands.

Hours in mosaic

Small mosaic tiles in the painting's own ornament mark the hours: black-and-gold chequered squares and turquoise eye-almonds, each with a gold rim. XII, III, VI and IX stand in tall, geometric Art Nouveau numerals, black with a thin gold edge.

Jewellery hands

Bold black enamel hands with a gold rim and a small golden eye ornament near the tip, with a soft cream halo so they read at a glance on the busy gold. A slim turquoise seconds hand with a gold tip, and a gold spiral at the centre.

Tap: the gold shimmers

Tap the watch face and a band of light sweeps across the gold leaf, sparkling glints dancing on the gold, while the black bird flutters its wings.

Every hour, the spirals turn

As the hour turns, the brightest spiral curls swirl gently round and glow warm gold.

Readings on mosaic tiles

Steps, unread notifications and battery, with the day and date, in small black lettering on little cream tiles with a black border. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

Three metals

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

Easy on the battery

The hands move once a second; the shimmer plays only on a tap and the swirl only on the hour. Always-on shows the spirals as a faint dim-gold line pattern, and the marks and hands as dim outlines.
