User Reviews

Fans praise its stunning visuals, intricate gears, and high-quality ticking and chimes, calling it beautifully designed and worth the price. However, common negatives include readability issues (low contrast hands; limited colors), lack of features (no alarm; few customization options), and platform limitations (must stay in foreground on iOS; cannot run as wallpaper or in the background). A number of reviews also note inconsistent chimes or occasional instability. Overall, the clock is treasured for craftsmanship and ambience, but users want better readability, more customization, and true background usage.
Pros
  • Stunning visuals with intricate mechanical detail and smooth animation.
  • High-quality ticking sounds and chimes, with adjustable volume.
  • Beautiful design praised across devices; reliable performance on iMac/iPhone and generally worth the price.
  • Acts as an attractive decorative desk clock and timepiece when plugged in or displayed.
Cons
  • Readability issues: hands and digits hard to read; limited color options and low contrast.
  • Mobile/foreground limitation: must be in the foreground to display; not usable as wallpaper or in the background.
  • Missing features: no alarm; desire for more customization (hand colors/styles, alternate faces).
  • Occasional reliability/audio issues: some devices report chimes not playing or instability.
  • 3D/rotation claims not realized: no true 3D view or ability to rotate to see inner workings.

The application is quit lovely, I hope it could be applied to apple watch and add some extra tacky functions like tourbillon... just an idea and you need to update the app due to one can not reach settings (collapsing)

Hello devs! I just wanted to take a moment and say that this is the coolest clock app I’ve ever seen! This was DEFINITELY worth the $3 I paid for it! It’s beautifully designed, has incredibly good sound, and it even chimes and strikes at the top of the hour! I had another similar clock app (by a different developer) on my iPad a few months ago, but that one wasn’t the same quality as this; in fact, it SUCKED. But this one? It’s AWESOME! Keep up the epic work, guys!
