Hypnotic Snake Eye

The eye of a great python, close up, is the whole dial: an iris of glowing rainbow rings round a black slit pupil, right on the centre of the watch, and the snake's olive and gold scales all round it out to the edge. Twelve bright gold scales circle the eye to mark the hours, and two ivory fangs tell the time.

Look into my eyes

Tap the watch face and the rainbow rings begin to turn, winding into a slow hypnotic spiral while the pupil narrows to a hair - then everything settles back. Every hour it happens on its own.

Engraved on the scales

The date sits on a large gold scale at the top, and your readings on three more at the sides and the bottom, each engraved into the gold.

Three skins

• Jungle: olive and gold, as the snake is.
• Desert: warm sandy gold.
• Black: a dark, glossy snake.

Hour marks

• Scales: twelve plain gold scales.
• Roman numerals engraved on the scales.
• Arabic numerals engraved on the scales.

Readings on the scales

Steps, unread notifications and battery. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon and value; set a slot to Empty and its scale goes away.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest but the fangs. The spiral plays only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows the fangs, the hour marks and a faint glow round the pupil, dim on black.
