Sewer Manhole

A round cast-iron manhole cover set in a wet city street at night, seen from straight above, a faint green glow seeping from the gap round its rim. The hours stand round it on the asphalt in fat, bouncy cartoon lettering - lime green, thick black outlines - and chunky cartoon hands sweep over the iron.

Tap to lift the lid

Tap the watch face and the heavy cover slides aside: toxic-green light floods up the brick shaft, green mist puffs out of the opening, then the cover slides back into place.

Steam on the hour

Every hour, steam bursts up out of the cover's holes and rim, lit faintly green from below.

Cartoon lettering everywhere

Every number and word on the face - the hours, the weekday, the date and your readings - is set in one hand-drawn cartoon alphabet made for this face.

Four hand colours

• Blue.
• Red.
• Orange.
• Purple.

Readings on the cover

Steps, unread notifications and battery, set on the iron in the cartoon lettering, with the weekday and the date at 3 o'clock. 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

The seconds hand steps once a second; the cover and the steam move only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only dim outlines of the hours and hands and the date on black.
