Pop-up Book 3D

An old book lies open behind a round maple frame, and the time climbs out of it. The hours stand inside the frame as solid pop-up paper digits; the minutes stand in front of it - big, leaning out toward you, their shadows falling across the frame - as if they were coming out of the watch.

Digits that fly out

Every new minute, the digit that changes flies from deep inside the book, forward through the frame, overshoots toward you and settles. On the hour the hour digits arrive too.

Tap to turn a page

Tap the watch face and a page lifts, curls and turns over from right to left behind the digits. It turns by itself every hour too.

Three papers

• White card with a dark printed edge.
• Kraft, brown card stock.
• Colour: every digit printed a different bright colour.

Readings on paper cards

The date is lettered on the frame at the top; steps, unread notifications and battery sit on three small cards inside it. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon; set a slot to Empty and its card goes away.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves between minutes; the arrivals play for about a second, the page only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the outlines of the digits, dim on black.

Make it yours
