No sound lol

Fix it.

This is a watch enthusiastโ€™s dream come true!

Hi there, developers! I just wanted to say that as a watch enthusiast myself, this app is INCREDIBLE! Being able to see and interact with a chiming watch in real time (for FREE no less!) is amazing! And the way youโ€™ve implemented it (by using a seamlessly looping video for the ticking and one of NINETY-SIX separate videos for each individual chime sequence) is beautiful to say the least! If you can, could you share what timepieces are currently in the works? A minute repeater would be the logical next step, but a grand sonnerie (a watch that automatically chimes at every quarter hour like a mechanical clock) would be pretty cool as well! Keep the beautiful timepieces coming!

Turn off ticking?

Beautiful! I love it. But how do I turn off the constant ticking/running sound?I want to be able to see the watch working, and hear the quarter-hour chimes, but I don't want my phone to be making constant noise. Having my phone volume so low that I can't hear the ticking is not an option. TIA

Suggestion

I liked the front and back views of the watch. It would be excellent if you could superimpose both images with a slider, so you adjust how much watch face you can see on top of the inner mechanism view.

It would also be nice to be able to use the iPhone sounds or ringtones for the hourly or quarter hourly chimes.

No sound?

Sound doesnโ€™t workโ€ฆ

Excellent for v1

Finally I can afford one of these. Eagerly awaiting future evolutions, especially a minute option. Would love to see a way to have this serve as a Lock Screen and offer different dial variations. The numerals on the minute track need a bit of work.

Interesting, if simple

An interesting app with a lot of promise. I imagine future versions will include pictures of different repeating watches, perhaps a minute repeater, or decimal repeater. Currently, the movement side of the app shows a ticking watch, and when the โ€œslideโ€œ is activated, the app shows hammers and gongs. The video of the repeating watch is slightly brighter than the video of the ticking watch, which can be fixed.

Cool

Cool, a real watch mechanism and face is great.

Graphic design around the watch could be improved; but keep the pull to repeat.
