Macro Mondays 'timepiece' theme.
I'm not well at present and realised last night that I hadn't taken my MM shot but I couldn't possibly miss a week 😃 so took this first thing today. We are remarkably lacking in small timepieces in this house - yes we have clocks but they are all big or digital, which I didn't want, and neither of us wear watches. Then I remembered that we still had my father-in-law's Tissot watch, just the thing for the theme. I played about with some double and triple exposures but didn't feel they really worked so settled for this one.

White balance has been a bugaboo with me for a long time. This shot brings me closer to what I am looking for. :-)

Background :
In 1853, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile Tissot created the Tissot watch company. Their driving force for the company was innovative spirit and a distinctive taste for skilled craftsmanship. Since then, the Tissot watch company has located its headquarters in Le Locle. Throughout its history, Tissot watches created products that never fail to attract attention, both by watch aficionados and the general public. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, its engineers and watchmakers developed watches that were pioneers of their kind.
