Grail watches for your screen. Grail turns the watches most of us only dream about into clock widgets you’ll actually use. On your home screen, on your nightstand in StandBy, and on your dashboard in CarPlay. It started simple: a collection of widgets based on wrist and pocket watches that offer an interesting design, are hard to get your hands on, or both. Every face is drawn with real horological detail, and built to be customized. Swap handsets, bezels, case metals, dials and colorways until it’s unmistakably yours. THE COLLECTION • Model One: Hours and minutes, inspired by Dirty Dozen field watches • Orbital Regulator: Hours, minutes and weekday orbiting the minute axis • DS-9000: Vintage digital display with time, day and date • Retro²: Jumping hour with retrograde minute, inspired by speedometers …and the collection keeps growing. WORKS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES • Home Screen & Desktop: Small and large sizes for your iPhone, iPad and Mac • StandBy: A proper bedside clock when your iPhone’s on its side • CarPlay: A mechanical dial on your dashboard MADE TO TINKER Broad Arrow or Dauphine hands. Stainless, titanium, DLC or gold. Pumpkin, Lime, Grape or Blueberry. Mix it however you like.
