Vesper

Features
Read full description

Vesper is a quiet clock, set in type. Time, date, and city sit in the same serif. Press and hold the face to switch: flip, hands, a quadrant of cities, or a line of words. • Faces: flip, analog, numerals, quadrants, and prose • World clock: keep the cities you return to, and see their hour • Timer: a stretch of time with nothing else on it • Widgets: the hour on your Lock Screen and Home Screen • No account: your name, cities, and face stay on your device Every face is open for the first 7 days. After that, one purchase keeps it for life. On a desk, a nightstand, or a table, it simply goes on.
