Pocket Watch

My dad's pocket watch that he gave me after his retirement.

I like this shot a lot, did you break the glass for the photo or did the glass break and then you decide to take the picture?

Thank you Patrick! It actually spins off. But it's old and faded and I couldn't get the detail that I wanted with it on. It was my grandfather's pocket watch. He passed it to my dad when he retired from the railroad and my passed it to me when he retired from the railroad as well. This was actually a 'happy accident' shot. I tried several shots with and without flash. I was so close on this shot that it was shaded by the shadow of the lens that the flash created and this was the outcome.
