Thanks for the compliment, kit. Here's how I did it.

 

Four pieces of white foam boards and a DSLR with hot shoe mounted flash.

Lay one board flat down and place watch on top. Place the other three pieces vertically on the left, the right and the top to create an open box.

Point the flash up straight so that it points to the ceiling when you hold your camera parallel to the ground. When you swing your camera down to face the watch, the flash will then be pointing at the top foam board.

Focus and take the shot. The light will bounce off the white foam board, creating the kind of diffused, non-frontal lighting that you see in this pic.

Hope this helps. smile
