Liquid Glass \u2013 the tech world\u2019s abuzz with this new term from Apple\u2019s design playbook following their reveal of the new slew of operating systems at WWDC 2025. What is liquid glass?<\/a> Well, it\u2019s a multi-tier strategy on Apple\u2019s part to redefine interfaces, moving away from the minimalist interfaces to introduce gorgeously refractive glass-like interfaces instead. These glass elements interact with screen elements by bending light like real glass would. Think of holding a magnifying glass to a newspaper to watch the text around the edges warp while the center stays clear.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s speculation that this move towards glass-based interfaces was a conscious effort to further Apple\u2019s spatial interface goals\u2026 but to be honest, we were in love with Liquid Glass back as early as 2021. What do I mean? Well, I\u2019m talking about the NightWatch, an Apple Watch dock from 4 years ago that did exactly what Liquid Glass did, amplify the watch\u2019s screen into a gorgeous liquid orb while your watch was charging!<\/p>\n

The NightWatch<\/a>, as its name so succinctly implies, is a dock for your watch while it charges overnight. Shaped like a massive orb, this dock turns your watch\u2019s night-time charging face into a massive, magnified alarm clock that\u2019s easier to see. Moreover, the dock amplifies the watch\u2019s audio too (through clever design details), transforming your Watch into a makeshift alarm clock that works remarkably well.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no hidden components, no inner trickery \u2013 the entire NightWatch is a cleverly designed, solid piece of lucite that does three things remarkably well. First, it docks the Apple Watch and charger inside it, magnifying the watch screen so the numbers are clearly legible even from a couple of feet away. Secondly, channels located strategically under the Watch\u2019s speaker units amplify the sound (sort of like how your voice is louder when you cup your hands around your mouth) so your alarm rings louder. Thirdly (and this might be the best feature yet), the lucite orb is touch-sensitive. Which means a mere tap on the surface causes your Watch screen to wake so you can see the time!<\/p>\n

The dock may have been designed in 2021, but its design philosophies align with Apple\u2019s Liquid Glass push brilliantly. Liquid Glass is all about mimicking real-world materials, bringing physicality to the digital world while still maintaining a pristine aesthetic that boosts focus and highlights important elements. That\u2019s exactly what the NightWatch does too \u2013 it takes the Watch\u2019s flat digital interface and brings real-world physicality to it through the refraction and magnification of the clear lucite. It also helps easily highlight important elements by enlarging your watch face for clearer timekeeping. The NightWatch is compatible with all Apple Watch series (as long as your watch doesn\u2019t have a case on it).<\/p>\n
