Starry Night

A night sky painted in thick, swirling brushstrokes is the dial, inspired by Van Gogh's The Starry Night: deep ultramarine and cobalt, glowing yellow stars with rings of light, a crescent moon burning in its halo at the upper right, a dark flame-like cypress rising on the left and a sleeping village with a church spire at the foot. The great spiral whirl of the sky turns round the centre of the screen, right under the hands.

Hours in paint

Glowing star-dabs of thick yellow-white paint mark the hours, the moon itself marks two, and XII, III, VI and IX stand out in a hand-painted yellow brush with a dark blue edge.

Golden hands

Bold golden hands with a streaky brush texture, outlined in dark ultramarine so they stand out on the busy sky at a glance. A slim cream seconds hand and a small moon at the centre.

Tap: the sky comes alive

Tap the watch face and the great spiral starts to swirl, its strokes turning round the centre, while every star's halo pulses brighter.

Every hour, the moon flares

As the hour turns, the moon's halo swells and glows golden, and a wave of light ripples out through the stars.

Readings in the sky

Steps, unread notifications and battery, with the day and date, in small cream brush lettering in the calmer patches of the sky. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

Three nights

• Classic.
• Deep: a darker, more indigo night.
• Dawn: a slightly warmer, lighter sky.

Easy on the battery

The hands move once a second; the swirl plays only on a tap and the moon's flare only on the hour. Always-on shows the stars as tiny dim dots, and the numerals and hands as dim outlines.
