The Art of Time: Watch Photography

This shot of the Argos Olympus was a personal challenge. The goal was to create a high-contrast, dramatic image that emphasizes the watch's sharp lines and textured dial. Using focused lighting against a pure black background makes the steel and details pop.

The same watch, a different personality. Here, we focused on the rich red of the dial, using warm light to bring out the gold accents. This shows how lighting can completely change the mood of a product, from cool and technical to warm and luxurious.

A cool, icy take on the Argos Olympus. The checkered blue dial is the hero here, so I used a softer, diffused light to highlight its unique pattern without creating harsh glare on the crystal. It gives the watch a crisp, modern feel.

Context is everything. Placing this green-dialed Argos watch in a lifestyle setting with leather goods and a wooden surface tells a story of sophistication. The lighting is designed to feel natural, like a sunbeam hitting a desk, making the product feel accessible yet aspirational.

A creative, conceptual shot inspired by the idea of timeless stories. We made these Argos watches appear to float off the pages of an old book, giving them a magical, narrative quality. This is where product photography becomes art.

Creating a sense of space and drama. For this Argos watch, I used a reflective surface and a single spotlight to create this 'on a pedestal' look. The long reflection adds depth and makes the watch feel like a monumental object.
