Ping.Timeout shares a practice wristshot of a Vacheron Constantin 1912 Historique, taken after attending a Cartier event focused on cellphone photography techniques. This post not only showcases a beautiful vintage-inspired timepiece but also delves into the practical aspects of watch photography for collectors.
Went to a cartier event yesterday ( despite not having cartier myself - only wifey does) where they had a talk on how to take wrist shot using cellphones. Really interesting. This is one of my practice shot, from a rookie.

Key Points from the Discussion
- A key tip for wrist shots is to keep the wrist straight to avoid wrinkles, which can detract from the watch's presentation.
- To achieve better background and avoid awkward wrist positioning, place the watch close to your body and raise the phone to shoulder level.
- The discussion expresses curiosity about the specific advice given at the Cartier event for taking wrist shots.
- The early 2000s Vacheron Constantin models, including the Malte and other Les Historiques, are highly regarded by collectors as 'pure treasures'.
- The original poster confirms a fondness for the creations from the 1990s and 2000s.
