Good choice of background; it keeps the focus squarely on the mechanical intricacy of the watch.

Clever thinking for the challenge and how wonderful that you still have the watch.

Some much craftmanship in a small piece. Its a treasure.

It may not have been as accurate as my Casio, but it was a work of mechanical art and I like to think people were less ruled by time. . A splendid presentation! V

People are so clever to construct such intricate pieces and then get them all to work accurately! Lovely clear shot.
