In many ways I kick started my professional career shooting high end and vintage watches. I love wristwatches. So I will always shoot them though it’s (unfortunately) that I get to anymore. Even more rare when something like the example below comes to me. This is a 1951 Elgin canteen watch. Notable for a number of reasons but primarily because it’s one of the very first diving watches ever made. Using by Navy frogmen whose equipment, much like this watch, would seem very unusual. Some of these photographs will be used in an upcoming book on military watches.
This is a wonderful little piece of horological history and I was lucky to have the chance to shoot it.
