CONNECTED MECHANICAL · SCREEN-FREE · MOTORIZED ANALOG

PROJECT REVOLUTIA WATCH

Manifesto: Complexity hidden, so the dial can be understood in one glance.

Connectedness without smartness, symmetry and metal as protagonists.

An always accurate analog watch that also displays current outside temperature and next hour weather forecast.

LIVE CONTROLS

Simulated BLE payload — drives the dial exactly as a phone sync would
Not yet synced
AUTO pulls your location's real temperature & next-hour forecast from Open-Meteo every 20 minutes — one unified payload (time, temp, weather). Requires location permission.
DESIGN NOTES

Connected, not smart

No screen, no notifications, nothing to open. A small background companion app handles the quiet 20-minute sync with Open-Meteo — you never see it, never open it, never think about it.

This is the information I miss when I am wearing my regular watches!

Why 15°C sits at dead center

It is the mean temperature on planet earth. An homage to our home planet. It makes very easy to intuitively grasp whether it is warm or cold outside.

Why the numerals are only 2, 4, 8, 10

It is my favorite numerals configuration, but also the only one that allows for symmetry considering 12 o'clock temperature and 6 o'clock weather disc. That is also why we separated day and date dials.

Technical feasibility

The technology exists. The energy consumption allows it to be a solar powered watch. It needs less motors than many Casio analog-solar-bluetooth enabled watches (for example oceanus OCW-S7000B).

Materials wish list

Steel, titanium or bronze case. Sapphire glass. Nothing crazy, everything good.
