My grandfather was a watch repairman - maybe he saw a few of these in his day (although I have no idea of how rare this item may be). Love the photo.

Nice shot. There is a few spots where it looks strange (top left, dots of light or something?). But love the tones, the detail, the lighting. Also, one spot appears to have a blur... weird. But overall, a nice photo
