Flipper Splash Watch Face

Flipper Splash is a digital flip clock watch face as big as the watch, with paint thrown across it: glossy splashes of colour, flung droplets and drips land on the dial, the flip cards and the date alike, as if someone splashed the finished watch.

WHAT IT SHOWS

- The hours and minutes on two big split-flap cards, in your watch's 12 or 24-hour format
- The day, the weekday and the month, in your phone's language
- Two gauge bands, above and below the cards: step goal, battery or chance of rain
- A row of number drums with its icon: the temperature with the current weather, heart rate, chance of rain or notifications

THE CLOCK

The hours and minutes sit on two flip cards that fill almost the whole dial, the digits in cream with a dark drop shadow, split at the hinge like a real flip clock. The paint thins out over the digit rows and the pale colours stay off them, so the time always reads.

THE GAUGES

Above and below the cards runs a gauge band. The scale itself moves behind a fixed index, flecked with fine spatter that travels with it, and a small clean lens over the index magnifies the fine row so the exact value reads through it. The battery band marks its low zone.

THE DATE AND THE DRUMS

At the top, the date: the day on a coloured inlay, the weekday, and the month on its own plaque. At the bottom, a row of number drums, each painted a different colour: the current temperature with a weather icon - sun, cloud, rain, snow, storm, fog, or the moon at night - or heart rate, chance of rain or your notification count, each with its own icon. The labels carry a halo so they stay readable over any splash.

THE DIAL

Under the paint is an instrument panel: a ribbed crinkle-finish fascia and bands that run off both edges of the screen and fade into it. Five themes change the ground and the paint: Ink (charcoal with a full rainbow of colours), Canvas (cream canvas with navy cards), Neon (near-black with fluorescent colours), Primary (slate with red, yellow, blue and white) and Tropical (deep teal with coral, mango, lime and turquoise).

Always-on keeps the two flip cards and the full date - day, weekday and month - dimmed on black, without the paint.
