Open hardware · No vendor OS · Built by your agent

Starts blank.

Every other watch ships with someone else's ideas on it. Tabula ships with nothing. You describe the watch you want. Your agent builds it, and sends it to your wrist.

The idea

A watch has one job: the things you care about, at a glance. Nothing else.

A single orange index at twelve. A dial with nothing on it. What appears there is decided by you, in a sentence, not by a product team in another country.

Build it

Say it. Wear it.

Pick a sentence to see what your agent would put on the dial. Real builds take a few minutes and arrive over the air.

01

Describe

In the app or by voice. “Weather and my calendar, no notifications after nine.” Plain language, any language.

02

Your agent builds

A cloud agent writes, tests and signs the firmware for exactly that watch. Nothing you didn't ask for is compiled in.

03

It arrives over the air

Tap once. Change your mind next week and say so. The watch stays yours between builds: the firmware runs without the subscription.

Hardware

Made to be left alone.

Titanium, sapphire, a reflective display you can read in sunlight, and a radio that sleeps. No touchscreen you fight with gloves. One crown, one button.

On the wrist

Quiet by design.

It doesn't buzz unless you told it to. It doesn't show a thing you didn't name. Most days it shows the time, and that is the point.

Open

No vendor OS. Yours, line by line.

There is no Tabula operating system to update, break, or discontinue. The firmware for your watch is open source, compiled for you, and published to your account. If we disappear, your watch doesn't.

Why founders

Five hundred people fund the first run. Then it belongs to everyone.

The first production run is paid for by founders, not by a vendor who later needs to sell your attention. That is the whole model, and it is why there is nothing on the dial you didn't ask for.

Questions

Asked, answered.

Is the hardware real, or is this a concept?

It is a pre-order. The first run is built on a proven open-hardware platform with our case, display and firmware. Specifications above are targets for that run, and your pre-order is refundable until the day it ships.

What does "no operating system" actually mean?

There is no vendor OS underneath your watch that we control. Each watch runs a small open firmware compiled for exactly what you asked for. No app store, no background services, no updates you didn't request.

Does the watch work without the subscription?

Yes. The firmware on it is yours. The subscription pays for the agent that builds new ones when you change your mind. Stop paying and the watch keeps doing what it did yesterday.

What can the agent build?

Anything the sensors and display can do: time in any form, timers, sunrise, steps, heart rate, calendar and messages from your phone, prices, weather, custom gestures. It cannot build what the hardware cannot do, and it tells you so.

Where does my data go?

Your sentences go to the agent to build your firmware and are deleted after the build unless you keep them. Health data stays on the watch and your phone. Nothing is used to train anything.

How does the Owner tier work?

Ownership and revenue share are securities. They are offered only through a registered community funding portal, under its rules and disclosures. The button above takes you there when the round opens. Nothing on this page is an offer to sell securities.

Can I pay in crypto?

Yes. The watch, the agent and the founding tier accept USDC, BTC and ETH as well as cards. Crypto payments are settled at checkout and refunded in the same asset.
