Dead Man's Pocket Watch

An animated Halloween watch face for Wear OS: an old silver pocket watch lies open on a grave slab among dry leaves, with a real analog dial and engraved numerals for the time as well. Inside its lid is a faded photograph of an empty room. Once an hour, someone is standing in it.

KEY FEATURES
• White porcelain with fine cracks, Arabic numerals 1 to 12, a full track of sixty minute marks and a red dot at each hour.
• Gold Breguet hour and minute hands, their tips glowing in the color you choose, and small seconds ticking in their own subdial at six.
• A window with the day and date, and the time in engraved numerals in the cartouche; the hour follows your watch's 12- or 24-hour setting.
• Your steps are on the left subdial, your battery on the right one, with a needle that points to the charge, and your unread notifications in the window under twelve.
• Each minute frost creeps over the crystal and melts, and the minute hand jumps with a small shudder.
• On the hour the watch chimes and jolts on the stone, and a pale figure slowly appears in the old photograph and fades.
• Tap the lower dial and a black beetle scuttles across the crystal.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Time: hands and numerals, hands only, or large engraved numerals only.
• Frost: ice blue, ghost green, candle gold or blood red, for the frost and the hands' glow.
• Seconds hand: on by default; switch it off to save a little battery.
• Beetle on waking: a beetle runs across the dial each time your watch wakes (off by default).
• Three complications: steps, unread notifications and battery by default; choose other data for any of them in the watch face editor.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
The watch goes dark with its numerals and marks in dim gray; only the hands or the numerals, the date, your steps and your battery stay lit, to save power.

MADE FOR HALLOWEEN
• On October 31, from 6 pm to 6 am, the figure appears in the photograph every quarter hour.
• From midnight to one frost covers the crystal, the hands glow blood-red, and time halts for a moment at every minute.
• It all switches on by itself on the night: no setup needed.
