The Kinetic Garden

Somewhere between a Zen garden and a kinetic sand table, a single magnetic ball traces your day across a bed of black sand. The Kinetic Garden replaces hands and digits with motion. A small ball glides through the hour on an inner track; a second, brighter ball sweeps the outer edge once every hour, tracing the minute. Behind them both, a slow mathematical curve grows -- a Lissajous weave or a dense spirograph, depending on your taste -- recording the ball's path across the past sixty minutes as one continuous, hypnotic line. At the top of every hour, the pattern is wiped clean. A dark wedge sweeps across the dial like a rake through sand, and the ball begins again on a blank canvas -- a small, satisfying reset built right into the passage of time. FEATURES - Two kinetic "ball bearings" marking hours and minutes on concentric tracks, drawn with pure geometry -- no bitmaps, no clutter - A continuously growing parametric trail: choose Minimal (a simple arc), Harmonic (a classic Lissajous figure), or Overdrive (a dense spirograph) - Automatic "sand wipe" at the top of every hour, with a sweeping wedge animation -- turn it off to let the pattern accumulate indefinitely instead - Three colour themes: Zen Sand (white & copper), Neon Grid (pink & cyan), and Monolith (light & dark grey) - Pure black AMOLED background with a persistent, memory-efficient canvas -- the trail is drawn once and never recomputed, so it costs almost nothing to keep growing - In always-on / low-power mode, the pattern holds still and grows by exactly one new segment per minute Built entirely from trigonometry -- Math.sin and Math.cos draw every line on the dial, not a single background bitmap. A meditative, ever-changing watch face that turns the simple act of checking the time into a small piece of generative art.
