Flying Carousel Watch Face

An animated mechanical watch face for Wear OS. Flying Carousel has no ordinary minute hand. Instead, a skeleton carriage carrying a complete set of gears, the escapement and a beating balance wheel sweeps around the dial once an hour, and its pointed tip shows the minutes.

Requires Wear OS 6 or later.

A MOVEMENT THAT MOVES
• The carriage orbits the dial, the gears turn inside it and the balance wheel swings back and forth, all at once, all the time the screen is on.
• Every part is a rendered 3D model: polished steel bridges, gold-toned wheels and red jewel bearings over a patterned dial.
• A steel ring, toothed inside and out, carries the white hour arrow around the dial every twelve hours.

EASY TO READ
Minutes: the tip of the carriage, read against the track at the edge of the dial.
Hours: the white arrow on the steel ring.

FIVE DIAL COLORS
Blue, Green, Graphite, Burgundy and Bronze. Touch and hold the watch face, then tap Customize to change it.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
When the screen dims, the face switches to plain white hour and minute hands and twelve markers on black, so the time is still clear at a glance.

FOR WATCH ENTHUSIASTS
The gearing is real. The hour ring drives the carriage through a planet wheel that rolls against a fixed ring underneath, twelve turns of the carriage for every turn of the ring. Every wheel has its own tooth count, every speed follows from the ratios, and the balance beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), a common rate for a mechanical watch.

NOTHING ELSE TO INSTALL
No ads, no subscription, no account and no phone app. It is built in Google's Watch Face Format, so no app code runs on your watch.
