More
than 500
pictures taken along 2005 and related to my discovery of watches as a
hobby are presented here in about 84 pages. Watches are a mini-testimony of the human adventures they have
accompanied, and they will accompany, still, for long times. Pictures
are neither annotated, nor classified more than by their chronology.
Please refer to the watchuseek
forum posts and galleries by "marc_wl" for
explanations and contexts, or theauthor's
blog. They were all taken using ambient lights (not flash light)
using a 5Mpixels camera Minolta Dimage
7i. They were processed using the GIMP software operating on aLINUX
computer,
free of any
commercial licences. Images were automatically resized to a maximum
size of 1024x768 pixels using the routine web-album preparation (gThumb software 2.3.3). I will be
pleased to provide the original files at high resolution (usually
1600x1200) for any wanted illustrations.
These pictures were
mostly published in 2005 at the watch collector's forum watchuseek.com
by marc_wl and the author's blog (marcwl_blogspot.com)
