Orient Maestro - Beginning Watch Photography
Hi there y'all, first post on watchcrunch. This is my first automatic watch, one that I got during covid. When I got it, I was ecstatic to wear it—not anywhere in particular, really just around the house since it was still lockdown. From the embossed faux-alligator strap to the applied indices, the watch works with textures and dimension as best as it can. At that time, I had only been a portrait and car photographer, taking pictures of details that you could see with the naked eye. That changed a few months ago, when I started exploring watch and macro photography.
Using a macro lens to get closer with the dial made me appreciate the details even more. It was a whole new world than I originally imagined. The ability to feel like you're between the crystal and the dial, to see a seconds hand jolt across the dial, to see the minutes hand inching towards the next marker. It's its own ecosystem, self-regulated and healthily going about its day, that you can get lost in if you indulge in its grace for a little while longer.
I'm an engineer by day and photographer by night who's just started collecting watches.
Stellar work! Cant wait til you start taking shots of movements through exhibition case backs… 🔥

You might be pleasantly surprised next week then! I see you're a Christopher Ward fan as well, and I'll likewise have something on that front as well.
