What we bring to the screen
We build our designs as 3D models, paying attention to the shape of the hands, the finish of the dial, and the way the parts sit together. Some faces have an exposed movement, which is the mechanism inside a mechanical watch. Others use a familiar layout of hands and a date window.
The models give us the lighting and shadows you see on the screen. For the exposed movements, the gear sizes and connections also determine how the parts turn.
Why we leave the widgets out
We want the dial to feel like a watch. That’s why you won’t find step counts, activity rings, weather, or calendar reminders on our faces.
We do include traditional watch features such as a date window or a moonphase display, which shows the changing shape of the moon. Watchmakers call these extra features complications. We choose the ones that suit each design.
Your watch can still receive notifications. Those are controlled by its settings, and installing one of our faces won’t switch them off.
Choosing a finish
On designs with a choice of dial colors, we match the hands, markers, and lettering to each finish. You can compare them in the product gallery before choosing.
How the time is kept
Your smartwatch supplies the time. The gears you see are animated from our mechanical models; they don’t regulate the electronic clock. We’re recreating the appearance and motion of mechanical watchmaking in a digital watch face.
