No hands, two spheres: how this watch actually tells the time

The first reaction to this watch is almost always the same: confusion, then curiosity. Here's exactly what's happening on the dial.

A cone-shaped dial, not a flat one

Underneath the black face, the dial is shaped like a shallow cone with two tracks cut into it — an outer track for the hour, an inner one for the minutes. A genuine Swiss Ronda quartz movement drives magnetized steel spheres along those tracks, the same way it would drive ordinary hands.

Why the spheres stay put

Magnetism holds each sphere against its track through normal daily movement — walking, typing, reaching for a bag. A deliberate flick of the wrist lets a sphere glide to a new reading, which is also just satisfying to do.

Reading it takes about a day to learn

Outer sphere for the hour, inner for the minutes. It's unfamiliar for the first day and automatic after that — genuinely no slower to read than traditional hands once it clicks.

What's actually inside

• Swiss Ronda quartz movement
• Stainless steel case back and mesh strap
• 3 ATM water resistance
• 30mm × 8mm dial — slim enough not to overwhelm a smaller wrist
