Pocket watch
Record status
Individual type · research required
A broken pocketwatch that somehow came into my possession and has remained there for years. I put the watch on a flatbed scanner and "acquired" this image directly from real life. I wanted to try scanning an object and I figured this would be better than scanning my butt or my face, because I wouldn't have to clean the glass afterward--and perhaps it would be more unusual, as well. It came out ok. Part of a set of scanned objects. Documented from an openly licensed real-object photograph on Wikimedia Commons; only the details stated by that source are recorded here. Remaining specifications are marked research required rather than estimated.
