These models of high-end mechanical watch faces contain many of the most complex "complications" found in real watches, plus refinements found nowhere else. All displays maintain the look and feel of real mechanical objects, but with the time and location accuracy of the iPhone.

Astronomy features:
- Highly accurate data from 4000 BCE to 2800 CE
- Times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset in two formats
- The correct shape and orientation of the Moon in all phases but still using a mechanical display
- Relative positions of the Sun, Moon and the constellations of the zodiac
- "Compass functions" show the elevation and azimuth of the Sun and Moon
- Latitude and longitude
- The Equation of Time, solar time and sidereal time
- Eclipse predictor (lunar node indicators and separation indicator)

Clock features:
- Day/date/month/year indicators, using mechanical wheels
- Local and UTC time
- Chronograph (stopwatch) with split timer, 1/10 sec accuracy
- Alarm clock and interval timer**
- Most watches with 1/5 sec or 1/10 sec precision
- Synchronized with standard atomic clocks via NTP

A setting is now available to allow the display to stay on only when plugged in.

Play with the watches by tapping on the crown and moving the hands, or press and hold on a date window to zoom through time to see the effect on the heavens. Then just use them to show you when it's time for a break.
