About this app

Ukiyo Premium brings a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print to life on your wrist. A curling wave in Prussian blue rises before a snowy peak, and the time is set the way ukiyo-e prints set their titles: stacked in a cream cartouche with a fine vermilion rule between hours and minutes.

Then touch the screen anywhere. For four seconds the print moves: the swell rolls, foam runs along the crest, spray and glints of light lift off the water, mist drifts in, three seagulls cross the sky, two boats sail by and a rain shower sweeps over. After that the watch face settles back into the still print, exactly as before.

Why you will like it
- A real animated wave: your watch face changes on your touch, not on a timer
- The print stays still between taps, with nothing moving until you ask
- Hours and minutes stacked in a cartouche, readable at a glance
- Pure art: no complications, no clutter, just the print and the time
- 40 ink colors for the time, from indigo to sumi black or vermilion

Features
The animation is one four-second scene that plays when you tap the watch face. Tap again while it plays and the scene restarts from the beginning; wait for the end and the print is back, unchanged.

Switch the animation off with the "Animation" setting if you prefer a pure still print. Good to know: the animation only plays when you tap, and each tap uses a little more battery. But it looks stunning, and it is the heart of this watch face: we recommend keeping it on.

Choose the ink of the time among 40 colors (long-press the watch face, then Customize, then "Ink"). The always-on display keeps only the time, centered, in the same serif font on pure black.
