One of the most complicated watches ever made . . .

Functional complications: hour hand, minute hand, second hand, day of week, date, month, year. (The date hand is fixed in place, but a date window has been added.) The moon disk rotates with the second hand. The other hands and the leap year are fixed in place.


If interested, here is a link to the YouTube video (7 minutes) of my .watch version of this watch face, which better replicates the complications of the original watch.

the data hand could move. WFD can do that.
Angle start and Angle span

I tried very hard to get that date hand to work. I tried the angle start and angle span feature in WFD beta; I also tried (for my first time) editing the xml file, setting the rotate value to 11 and the rotatemode value to 13, but I never was able to get it to work right. I’m sure I was doing something wrong, but I finally just gave up.

it looks beautiful but almost nothing works there. The basis here is a picture and then only about two hands. Play with it! Delete the hands in the picture or cover them with a wheel and make them new in the WFD so that they rotate. I already know today that it is not complicated (and it took me a while to learn it). Date, days of the week, month, seconds, everything can move on your watch face. It probably won’t look exactly like the original, but that’s not important.
WFD can really do a lot

Yes, the hands are already separate images. I played with the date hand in WFD and I had it working correctly in WFD, but when I exported the clockskin (for UL) and installed it on my KP2, the date hand didn’t work correctly on the watch. :thinking:

yes, I have also encountered this on my watch. Unfortunately, I can’t advise on that. There is probably a problem with the firmware of the watch

The problem comes from different brands wanting different functions from the watch face engine.
I have told them many times to just have the same, fully functioning engine on all these watches - but they always know best apparently :joy:
