I haven't dropped any images on here before so I thought I might see what
people thought.  This was done entirely within the Povray editor, no other
programs involved.

I guess that means there are no image maps involved.  Good work! How did
you do the structures on the belt?

Well there ARE some large hieght-field maps.  They were created via the
povray editor as well.  I had tried strictly using objects (no image maps)
but the render time became impossible for me. The structures are mainly
height_fields.

Actually the background (outside the camera range) was an image map of my
house applied to a sphere to give a realistic background.  So yes, there you
are right I was "cheating"

I like the reflection (looks like a tree is being reflected) and the leather

for my taste, the glass on the watch should be more visible

Welcome!

That belt is very impressive. The watch itself, too. And everything done in
POV itself ... I couldn't do that! But you won't tell me now that this one
is your first serious work with Pov. You just have to have some years of
practice ...

Very nice!

My only criticism (hope it's a constructive one): The date-indicators seems
a bit flat, to me. I remember those watches with a bit more depth. But I
don't know exactly this kind of watch ...

Any chance of posting the leather texture? - It's the best I've seen.

Wow, that's a nice piece! A bit strange camera angle though; imo it
would be better to have the table slant away from the viewer.

modified it a bit to get the one you see now.  Here is the one I am using...

The camera angle was meant to be different.  I have made several watch

Well the watch crystal (sapphire) has AR coating to reduce reflection.  It
is hard to get to a point where you can see it but not too much.

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.

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
:)

That looks a lot like one of the "rock-watches" by Tissot.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but Babel Fish says that
glashütte in english is glasswork, and I assume the 1/SA refers to what kind
of glasswork it is,

and doppelfederhaus means double spring house literally, and must refer to
how many springs the
watch has - a main spring and another for the alarm, which apparently has
several settings
between simply  ab (off) and auf (on).

Ha ha!  Hey I like that one, if only in concept, anyway  :-)
Not one you'd let the batteries fail you at a bad time.

I see what appears to be an included sky texture from POV-Ray reflecting off
that, otherwise I would have thought this to be a file from some website of
animated GIF's  ;-)

Glasshütte is a town where the Lange company is located. I/SA means
"In Saxony"

The ab-auf hand is the power reserve indicator. "Doppelfederhaus" is
"double barrel", meaning the watch has a double mainspring barrel.

Don't ask me how/why I know so much about expensive German watches :P

Guilty as charged ... I do mean to do something with my POV Ray page, but
the IRTC seems to get in the way.

The advantage of the double mainspring barrel is that with most spring powered
clocks the winding and the power for the clock are taken from the same side of
the spring.  Therefor the clock is not powered during winding so it can loose
some time.  If a clock has a double mainspring barrel that means the clock is
so accurate the effort to fix a fractional second error is worth it.

Its a power reserve indicator for the mainsprings.
