I usually have a pocket watch on my desk and I thought I would see whether a
Leica M could be used in macro photography. The answer is probably.
I am not a fan of display backs unless the movement warrants attention. In
this case, I think it does.
And the front ...
For those who need numbers, it's a 5510.
I am using M-Mount lenses, not on a Leica, but on system cams with helicoid
adaptors, because those tiny M-Mount lenses are very suitable for macros and
cropping. This one with an Voigtlaender VM 1.2/40 lens & helicoid.
Great shots of beautiful watches! It certainly does not hurt to have such
great models to photograph, but the talent to do so shows.

I agree with Nelson, this is quality photography of some beautiful watches!

The flattest - and rarest modern IWC cal. is this and I think this is one of
very rare photos.

I agree and will add: when display back does not diminish the essential
quality of the watch.
Thanjs for posting Ralph
