I know this is a watch but I am having a hard time making out just what all I am looking at. The engraving is hard to make out, perhaps different lighting would have helped. To me at least this seems like a very confusing image.
Beautiful picture, I see the spring, looking for a wheel. I'm guessing it is the circle around the spring. If the wheels had been a little clearer, and the watch centered on the pic, this would be one of my favorites of this challenge, but as it is having to search for a wheel, brings the score down.
