Glashütte Original

The Special Moderators prize was . . .

 

. . . exceedingly difficult to award because there were so many incredibly compelling photos. I found myself entranced by the five photos that sported a pair of G Os . . .











. . . and especially Ken's submission with two Meißens, which I felt had a subtle synergistic effect.

Who could not be taken by . . .



. . . Nicky's heartwarming scrapbook photo?

Martin's pairing of two marvels of German engineering . . .



. . . was most resonant - of course, I happen to be a fan of Audi, too!

Tony's exquisitely suggestive submission . . .



. . . encouraged me to take a closer look at my own G Os.

The photo that I found the most compelling, though, was Richard's PML shot with Sidney Harbor in the background . . .



. . . which was neither well focused nor especially revealing of the ostensible subject, the PML, but captured the indelible man-made arcs of the Opera House and Bridge in tune with the miniscule arc of the esoteric moon-phase indicator on the dial. Easily one of the most compelling images of any watch that I've had the pleasure of viewing.

Thank you all for participating in the contest . . . most cordially, Art

I still have lots to learn about photography of the watches. Those three are soooo professional. I am just honored to be mentioned in Art's comment. Subject were great, not the man behind the camera Thank you all and congratulations! Ken

These are really cool shots

My best congratulations to those who were selected! You really deserved your crowns. It must have been hard for Kelvin and for Art to chose. A special compliment to Gerard. Your pictures made me pay attention to the two handed Senator in a way I never did...
