I used a photograph wrapped around a sphere (picture of my house with trees,
etc) and then the sphere went around the entire set of stuff (outside of the
camera range) This allows the reflections of surrounding things to appear
and helps make the scene appear more realistic.

I'm a big fan of making every texture have some amount of reflection so the
scene doesn't come across so flat.

I didn't mean the reflections itself, but the nice fine small patterns with
this wavy structure ...
or did u also use a normal-map in the yellow metal to modify your
reflections that way ?

The pattern within the watch dial surface was created using height_fields.
I created patterns (using povray again) of black arcs (chopped, flat
toruses) againt a white background to create the patterns.  They were then
used for the height_field map.  There are several different height_fields
involved in the dial face. The dial face was one of the more difficult (for
me anyway) challenges of this image.

What's the origin of this AWESOME ROLEX thing?
For my benefit and the benefit of Patrick, who is probably confused by the
reference as well.

Someone once posted a picture of a Rolex, claiming it to be a model of his own
creation, and rendered in POV. Neither of which was true.
I'll leave it to you to guess the title of that post.

A very lovely watch, wish I could afford it.
The reflection works nicely to enhance the look of the finish, but it makes me
wonder whether the watch is supposed to be horizontal or vertical. If it is
vertical, as the image suggests, I'd expect the lower half of the glass to
reflect the ground, not the trees. Just pointless nitpicking, though.
Also, IMO the hands are too white, makes them look plastic (presumably they are
gold or silver, I somehow doubt a Lange watch would have any truck with plastics
:)

My original comment was not claiming this to be a fruad by the way. I 
thought it was an excellent image, just to clarify...

I doubt anyone will ever be able to submit a picture of a watch without
AWSOM ROLEX being mentioned in someway.

You think...?
Note the lovely aliasing, the nice bland texturing, great simple background.
