    Guilloche close ups

    Hope these come out OK, just messing around with my phone and a cheap microscope.

    Usually when I see bits of watches under the microscope I'm struck by how agricultural some of the beautiful finishing is once you get up close but those look amazing, even more impressive under the microscope than with the naked eye.

    I reckon there’s a Breguet and possibly two Patek world timers.

    Amazing pics by the way. I get the feeling you’ve captured the actual level of granularity the watchmakers were working on.

    A few of them where wrapped in a plastic film the dust was on that, but it did reflect a lot more than I thought it was going to.
