I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #watch

What you see is a modern made pocket watch with a vintage style. The dieameter of the watch is aprox. 4 cm = 1,6"

A classic vintage pocket watch is a classic timepiece, typically worn on a chain and carried in a pocket, that was made several decades ago—often between the late 1800s and mid-1900s. These watches are prized for their craftsmanship, mechanical movements, and antique value.

Here are a few key things to know about vintage pocket watches:

🔹 Types

Open-face: No cover over the dial.

Hunter-case: A spring-hinged metal cover that protects the watch face.

Half-hunter: Has a small glass window or hole in the cover so you can see the time without opening it.

🔹 Key Features

Mechanical movement (manual winding)

Roman or Arabic numerals

Engraved cases or decorative dials

Maker’s mark inside the case or on the movement (e.g., Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, Omega)

🔹 Popular Brands

American: Waltham, Elgin, Hamilton, Illinois

Swiss: Omega, Longines, Patek Philippe

🔹 Collectible Value Depends On:

Age and condition

Brand and rarity

Case material (gold, silver, nickel, etc.)

Movement type and quality

Originality (unaltered parts, original dial, etc.)

I was taking pictures of my son and his friends before prom when another of their friends suggested these girls do this. She was taking a picture from the other side, but I really liked this shadow. I processed it to look vintage and from another time.

There is an interesting Hawaiian legend tied to the Ohia tree and its flower, the Lehua blossom. The legend is tied to the volcano goddess, Pele. This story explains that if you pluck this flower, it will rain on the same day (for a tragic reason).

The legend says that one day Pele met a handsome warrior named Ohia and she asked him to marry her. Ohia, however, had already pledged his love to Lehua. Pele was furious when Ohia turned down her marriage proposal, so she turned Ohia into a twisted tree.

Lehua was heartbroken, of course. The gods took pity on Lehua and decided it was an injustice to have Ohia and Lehua separated. They thus turned Lehua into a flower on the Ohia tree so that the two lovers would be forever joined together.

I absolutely loathe this kind of retro architecture [residential complex 'De Compagnie' by Hans Kollhoff]. All the more challenging to try and make a decent photo of it.
