A clock, reduced to what it needs. Dessau Clock draws every dial in code at the moment you look at it. There is not one photograph of a clock inside it — the plate, the printing, the hands and the ring are geometry, so they stay sharp at any size on any screen. WHAT IS FREE, FOR GOOD One complete clock. Chrome Yellow under Bayer printing, baton hands, a hairline bezel and a jewelled Swiss escapement you can hear and feel. No advertising, no interruptions, nothing that expires. It is not a trial. THE WORKSHOP • 59 dial plates, ten of them complete objects — plate, material, printing, hands, ring and sound applied in one tap • Real materials: quartersawn oak, Carrara marble, terrazzo, pigskin leather, canvas, cork and brushed aluminium. Each one a scan, not a pattern • Five printing programmes, eight sets of hands, five second hands, five finishes, four bezels • Fourteen recorded movements — a jewelled Swiss escapement, an oak pendulum, a typebar, a glass rim — each with its own tuned haptic • Two clocks, two cities, side by side, built and coloured completely separately AFTER DARK A night face that glows, with twelve lume colours and a sharp mode that turns the bloom off entirely. Follow the system appearance, or pin it to day or night. Left running on a charger, the whole face drifts a couple of points across the screen — far too slowly to see. A display ages where it is lit, and a clock left on overnight is the one image most likely to leave a mark. WIDGETS Every size, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, and in StandBy. Each widget picks its own plate, material, hands, glow, city and background. The second hand really ticks, once a second, without the app running. PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, nothing measured. The dials, cities and sounds you choose never leave your device. The only thing that does is your purchase. Universal — one buy covers iPhone and iPad. DESSAU CLOCK PRO Pro unlocks every dial, material, printing programme, hand set, bezel, finish, escapement and tick sound, plus dual time and the twelve night glows. One purchase: $9.99, once. It includes every dial the app ever adds. No subscription, no free trial, nothing that renews. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to manage afterwards — the unlock is permanent, and it restores on any device signed in to the same Apple Account.

Nature Flip Clock
Read full descriptionHide full description
A flip clock where butterflies, birds, leaves and flowers gather into every digit. Each digit sits on its own card. When the minute changes, the card flips down and new specimens fly in, landing just as the flip ends. Put it on your nightstand or desk: the screen stays on while Horae is open. Prefer digits without cards? Turn off Flip clock in Settings. FIVE FACES • Butterflies — free; wings gather along the strokes of each digit • Birds — birds perch where the strokes run • Pebbles — river stones worn smooth, quiet and heavy • Fallen Leaves — autumn leaves settle into the hour • Flower Clock — Linnaeus's flower clock of 1751: twelve flowers that open at their own hours, and a firefly that keeps the seconds MADE FOR THE NIGHTSTAND • Flip clock — on by default, with a live preview in Settings • OLED screen protection — the digits drift slowly to prevent burn-in • Swipe up or down on the clock to adjust brightness • A dark face that is easy on the eyes at night QUIET BY DESIGN No ads, no accounts, no analytics. The clock works fully offline. Butterflies is free, with every feature, flip clock included. One purchase unlocks the other four faces and every face added later. Named for the Horae, the Greek goddesses of the hours.
