Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws.

Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc.

This is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time This is also something that goes along with owning any mechanical watch If an extremely accurate, worry free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch.
