Which, you did so it's all good The secret is diffusion. So use cloudy days. Or timing of photography in early morning or just before sunset. Or baking paper / tracing paper held over the watch shielding bright lights.
I normally do my shots at night in a spare room, hence the need of a lightbox. Nevertheless, the single source (somewhat diffused) light isn't enough. Hence, I had to physically hold two additional light sources to illuminate the faceted hands while triggering the camera with a remote...A little cumbersome! A more ideal solution is to have individual posable diffused light stands, however those start to get pricey quicky. This makeshift solution will do for now... Regards, skyeriding
To seeing the watch with the strap attached, rather than as a prop only I have seen quite some interesting strap combinations with the Snowflake, so really looking forward to seeing yours!
