Ryan Claytor
Ryan, who has a deep love for pinball, considers the links between the game and time:
“Pinball is essentially a game of timing: flip a fraction of a second too soon or too late and you'll miss your intended target.
In its more transcendent moments though, a game of pinball can almost mystically remove the player from any concept of time.
When engrossed in a game where shots are being hit, progress being made and previously locked achievements are realized, pinball has the capacity to transport the player out of time entirely.
Rest assured, though, that "Ricochet" will be a faithful temporal reminder once you resurface from this engrossing experience!”

Powered by your movement
Automatic mechanical
This means your watch has no battery, instead it's powered by the movement of your wrist!
If you don’t wear your watch for a while (24 - 48 hours), then the movement will run out of power and your watch will stop.
When this happens, you can manually wind it by turning the winding crown on the side of the watch clockwise (20-30 times) or just wear it to get it running again.
Have you seen the XL version?
Ricochet XL
The big and bold 45mm case is just the right size for the larger wrist.
You'll notice this eye-catching version of Ricochet has an additional player too!
