Watch This

My grandfather's old pocket watch among some old magnets. The Photo Salon met at John's house, set up objects and flowers to shoot, and voila!

It worried me to see this so close to those magnets, but the watch probably already does not work anymore. I like the vintage feel and the textures in this one Ann.

Thank you all for the views, comments and favs! I'm glad you liked this one.

@grammyn It's a hand-wound pocket watch- I don't know if that makes a difference, but I only had it on this tray for a short time and then I put it away.

“Magnetic fields are not permanently damaging to your timepiece, but they can affect its accuracy or even stop the watch completely. This is chiefly down to the vulnerability of the balance spring, whose four-times-a-second compression and expansion regulates the steady tick of your watch’s mechanics. If this hair-thin coiled spring of metal alloy becomes magnetised, it will stick to itself, which will make your watch run fast, slow or stop.”

Not as serious as I thought, but still something to consider if you wanted to keep accurate time

@grammyn True- I've never used it as a timepiece, just a photo subject- but I should see if it actually works sometime! Thanks for that info.
