Time displayed as an enigmatic-looking arrangement of shapes made up of squares. Named 'Tessera' after the tiles used to make mosaics.

3 columns of 9 squares for hours, minutes & seconds. Indicator squares on each side of the columns appear next to the appropriate squares to give a 6-digit time. Zero indicated by absence of one of these squares.

Information on a second screen is accessed by a tap on the screen: date (with configurable format), steps, distance, heart rate and battery level. Tap again to return to the time.

The colors are configurable.

The screenshot animation runs from 12:57:40 to 12:57:50
