In late 2014 I was invited to design an interactive watch face for the new generation of Android 5.0 smartwatches, and the Shadow Clock was my solution.
Inspired by sundials, the watch uses the time of day and location information of the wearer to cast subtle shadows from the custom designed numerals. The back end was developed by the team at B-Reel, NYC. The watchface is available now from the Google Play store.

Passive or Night Mode:
The watch works in 12 or 24 hour modes on both smartwatches and Android phones.
These custom numerals were designed especially for the project.
A selection of grabs from various times of the day showing how the light changes and the shadows move around the face.
