What time is it? Watches and horology

i think whenever you take a wrist shot yourself, the watch looks bigger. I assume it's to do with perspective/distance

Another smiley Tudor, had to get my fave nato in 22mm too

In the sense that irl they're not that nice?

The silver dial looks the best in pics. And from videos the bracelet looks like it's decent quality. Plus it's got a solid modern movement.

I think its basically an artificial image that does a few things to draw the eye.

Eg your image has the watch centred and is a much flatter full frontal image.

Irl 99/100 watches are seen at an angle.

Yeah it’s just distance/foreshortening.

Who cares about the watch. Tell us more about the pups.

That's really nice

Mine is in the basket, that's my neighbour's dog who wanted to say hi. I'll go and put some photos of Lützi up on the dog forum. Don't want to pollute the watch thread.

After all this is the dog's thread.

They were just a bit unbalanced and didn’t sit with the rest of the range.

I've got one of those phones with different camera lenses on it. Each lens magnifies the watch face slightly differently.

I'm not sure if it's the same for every phone but on my one, the wide angle seems to have the least distortion, and the closeup one (which I'd instinctively want to use to take a picture of a phone) which most effectively magnifies the face and distorts it.

Here's my casio - one with the wide angle (on the left) and one with the closeup (on the right). It looks a lot more like the one on the left in real life!

Have a good Friday everyone.

I’ve always liked that , fabulous.

Beaut!

One of the all time nicest forum watches

Gorgeous.

Most watch shots are shot on a fairly long lens 80-120mm on 35mm
Better perspective to match our angle of view, when looking at your watch your eye is a fair distance away and using a phone means that distance is halved plus the lens is often wider which means bringing the phone even closer.

I know. :)

Happy Friday all ☀️ just received this Crafter Blue strap from the postie. Have a great weekend 😊

Saw someone on a train from Brighton a couple of weeks ago with this exact watch

Yesterday I was wearing my Neptune, suggestions for a strap?
