Inspired by Tony (learningtofly) and his sharp as hell watch blog, http://halfpastthehour.wordpress.com/ I decided to invest a bit of time and money into my current collection rather than adding to it. I contacted a photographer who does product/commercial photography for local businesses. She was excited to do the job, as she had never photographed watches before. Two hours+ and a lot of trial and error with different angles, she produced a nice set of photos to document my collection. I will be using her pics from now on in the WURW threads (so stay tuned), but thought I would share some of her other detailed pics showcasing interesting aspects of the watches.

Enjoy and thanks for looking!

I like her style (and thank you for the mention) - that's a great job. How long did the shoot take, and roughly how many images did she have at the end of it?

Love
Y collection, by the way.
