Introducing the Story Levitating Timepiece by Flyte. Complete with an exceptionally minimalist design, this clock gives you a whole new dimension of time-telling. Story uses a magnetic system to guide a chrome sphere along the circumference of the face. The ball moves to indicate the time. But, the positioning isn’t just for hours. Instead, Story tells, well, a story. The chrome ball will always begin at the 12 o’clock position. Its movement is evidence of your story rather than that of time. Additionally, you can use the mobile app to set your story as well as select different modes. Journey Mode is for anything from pregnancy to a new season. Clock Mode moves the chrome ball according to the hour. Finally, Timer Mode moves according to the timer set by you in the app. In addition to this, Story does, in fact, reveal the time with its backlit display.

Hi. Do you have to use the adapter / wall plug, or is it possible to connect and wall mount it directy onto an outlet (no cables)? Great looking product, good luck!
The cable is still necessary and the safest way of transmitting power to STORY. Their aim is to think in a broader way, so they want it to be beautiful and part of STORY’s design. There are workarounds, like having the cable hidden inside of the wall – like many people do with TV and other device’s cables. Hope that helps! ?
Hi @ Ann - We are working hard to make time fly:) until November.
HI @ John - Thanks for your suggestion. We will pass your comments to our engineering team.
It is possible to get Walnut sent to me when its ready to ship out?
Congratulations with the 800+ % funding.
November is my birthday month so I kinda consider this a late birthday gift by you ;) ( or to myself I guess :b ) Regarding the survey.
Is it possible to increase funding afterwards? By that I mean, I wanted the Walnut version, but regrettably I didn't have the funds for it at the time, so I chose ash instead, because I didn't want to miss out on this exciting literal Time Piece. So I was just wondering if it would be possible to change that into Walnut
If I pay the difference, as part of the survey you eventually send out? (I was hoping you'd have a monthly SitRep. of sorts)
But regardless, I'm looking forward to the next update. Time isn't ticking, it's floating ^^
@Thomas, at this time we're only developing Ash and Walnut versions, but keep following us to see if we release more options after the first models have been released :-)
One question. Can you add at back space for the spare ball?`
You crack me up -- ever since that lousy watch a few years ago... :)
It's your money...there are a multitude of currency conversion sites/tools out there. I don't see this as an issue with Flyte or Kickstarter. Rather it's your responsibility to figure out the price of something before purchasing.
@Matrix Hi Matrix, thank you very much for backing our project. The magnets will do the job. In any orientation and in case of power outage, the sphere will stick to the wooden base, preventing it from falling. When power is restored, you can just levitate it again.
@Matrix, asked several times. They've only assured that it does return to the clockface.
