Subwoofer 3D

A car-audio subwoofer seen straight on fills the watch: a polished chrome trim ring with its screws, a ribbed rubber surround, a textured cone and a glossy domed dust cap bulging toward you. The hours are printed flat in silk-screen on the upper cone; the minutes are big satin-metal digits standing on the dust cap, coming out of the speaker toward you, crossing the edge of the cap onto the cone and throwing their shadows across both.

Every minute, a bass thump

When the minute changes, the dust cap pushes out like a bass note hit it and the new digit bounces up to its place.

Tap for a pulse

Tap the watch face and the cone pulses, rings rippling out across it from the cap. It pulses on the hour too.

Three cones

• Black: the classic matte black cone.
• Red: a bright red cone and surround.
• Silver: a brushed silver cone, its print in black.

Readings as spec labels

Steps, unread notifications and battery, printed on the cone and the surround like a speaker's specifications. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon and text. The date is engraved in the chrome at 12.

Easy on the battery

Nothing moves at rest: the cap thumps only when a minute changes, the ripples only on a tap and on the hour. Always-on shows only the dim outlines of the time, the trim's edge and the date on black.
