Ever since the dawn of time, people have begun to dispense time. First was the sundial, later appeared water clock after them was the hourglass. Millennia later was created the first pendulum clock and few centuries later the electronic watch.

Today I’ll show you how to make Pixie, a wristwatch that combines both analog and digital clock technology, with the precision of an atomic clock.

PIXIE shows the hours in blue, the minutes in red and the seconds in green, it also has a flashlight mode that is activated, by capacitive touch switch, for 10 seconds. You may ask why, that’s because the LEDs heat-up and they might get damaged, but if you want, you can increase the time at your own risk !
