Store description excerpt
WabiFace Byobu brings the gold of a Japanese folding screen to your Wear OS smartwatch. 🏯 A SCREEN OF GOLD LEAF A byobu is the folding screen that stands in a Japanese room: squares of beaten gold leaf, the fold running down the middle, and a painted subject set against all that open gold. Here it becomes a dial, with two torn openings cut through the leaf to the movement behind. ⚙️ THE MOVEMENT BEHIND Five wheels turn continuously behind the openings, each at its own rate. Two of them are a true 3:1 pair, so they turn against each other the way meshed wheels must. Ruby jewels sit on the pivots. 🎨 THREE SCREENS Kinpaku gold leaf, Ginpaku silver leaf, and Kodai aged gold. The whole face is re-leafed, not just an accent. 🖌️ FOUR PAINTED SUBJECTS Choose the painting on the open leaf, in the manner of screen painting: cherry blossom for spring, wisteria for summer, maple for autumn, snow laden pine for winter. Or leave the gold bare. 🕰️ HANDS IN THREE METALS Kin gold, Gin silver, Akagane copper. Each carries a sumi keyline so it stays readable over the leaf, and a smooth sweeping seconds hand. 📅 DAY AND DATE A window at 2 o'clock shows the short weekday over the day number, in your watch's own language. It can be switched off. ⌚ COMPLICATIONS Two bezelled wells, at 1 and 7 o'clock, set point symmetrically about the centre. - Step count (upper) and battery (lower) to begin with, both changeable - Short text, ranged value, icon or small image - Size Large, Medium, Small, or off entirely - Four inks to write them in: Sumi black, Ai indigo, Shu vermilion, Rokusho verdigris 🌙 AMBIENT MODE The gold rests and the wheels stop. Only the hands and twelve hour bars stay lit, on true black, so the always-on view stays dark and quiet. 🌸 ABOUT WABIFACE WabiFace is a collection of watch faces celebrating Japanese aesthetics — wabi-sabi, mono no aware, and the dignified passage of time.
