Visual documentation of vintage horology, emphasizing historical relevance, enduring design language, and the unique character acquired over time.
Scratches, softened edges and patinated surfaces are not removed or disguised. They are part of the watch's identity and inform how it should be seen. The photographic approach focuses on finding the angles and light that allow these details to coexist with balance and restraint - showing the watch at its best without denying its age. Following images might look like they are retouched a lot, but actually these watches are in a great shape.
Over decades of wear, cases soften, transitions blur and original geometry evolves. Photographing these watches requires sensitivity to those changes - framing them in a way that respects their current form rather than imposing an idealised version of the past.
By avoiding aggressive lighting and excessive contrast, the images allow surface changes to remain legible and honest. The result is not nostalgia, but clarity.
Instead, composition and lighting are used to create coherence, allowing the watch to be understood as a complete object. This restrained approach reflects the belief that authenticity carries more weight than perfection.
