How it works

Why this one

01

A tick, not a sweep

The second hand snaps forward once a second, like a real escapement — not a smooth animated ring.

02

The crown actually works

Tap the winding crown itself to start and stop. It's the control, not just decoration.

03

Precise underneath the vintage face

A small digital readout keeps the exact minutes and seconds, even while the analog hands do their retro loop.

04

Survives a reload

Refresh the Notion page mid-run and it keeps counting from the right place instead of snapping back to zero.

FAQ

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing on this site requires sign-up — copy the link, paste it into Notion, done.

Why does the minute hand loop every 30 minutes?

Real mechanical stopwatches use a 30-minute recorder scale on the minute hand, so this one does too. It's just for looks — the digital readout below center always shows the true elapsed time, however long you run it.

Does it sync across my devices?

No — it's stored locally in your browser, so a run in progress won't show up if you open the same Notion page on another device.

Can I record laps?

Not currently. The real object this is modeled on didn't have lap memory either — just start, stop, and reset via the crown.

I already embedded one — can I change the settings?

Changing settings up here only updates this preview. To update a widget you've already placed, generate a new link and swap it into the Notion embed block's source.

Does it make noise?

A soft mechanical tick plays once a second while it's running, plus a small click when you press the crown or Reset. All on by default — turn it off above if you'd rather run it silently.
