Berlin — Brandenburg Watch Face
· v1.0.0
About
Celebrate Berlin on your wrist with **Berlin — Brandenburg**, a watch face built around Germany’s most iconic landmark.
The **Brandenburg Gate** appears as a crisp dark silhouette at the left of the screen — neoclassical columns, heavy entablature, and the Quadriga chariot above — drawn with polygons, not a bitmap. It stays recognizable at watch size and leaves room for a large, outlined time display with date and a stats row showing **heart rate**, **steps**, and **battery** with charge level.
Behind the time, a **black-red-gold German flag** waves gently. Like the gate, the flag is drawn procedurally with polygons, so it uses almost no memory, scales cleanly to any screen resolution, and animates with a subtle **3D cloth ripple** while the watch is awake.
**Designed for real-world displays**
- Looks rich on **AMOLED** screens.
- Quantizes correctly on **64-color MIP** displays.
- **Always-on** support on AMOLED devices: a burn-in-safe low-power view with dim time and date plus a small Brandenburg Gate glyph, **jittered every minute**.
Large, readable typography uses **dark halos** so the time stays legible over the busy flag background.
**Simple and private**
- Fully **offline** — no phone connection required.
- **No settings** to configure.
- No permissions beyond standard sensors.
Numbers only on the face, so it works for **any locale**.
**Compatible devices:** fenix 7 / 7 Pro, epix 2, venu 2 / 2 Plus / 3 / 3s, Forerunner 955 / 965.
