A rich, moody, close-up of several vintage timepieces nestled among various necklaces made out of beads and stones. The "still life" evokes a sense of nostalgia, the passage of time, or a collection of forgotten treasures. Occupying the center is a large, gold-toned pocket watch with a white, slightly weathered face. It features elegant black Arabic numerals and intricate, ornate hands. There is a smaller sub-dial at the bottom for seconds. Surrounding the pocket watch are smaller vintage wristwatches. They vary in shape, square, oval, and round with gold-toned casings and weathered faces. The watches are resting on a bed of strands of white pearls, vibrant red spherical beads, sea-glass green stones and clear crystalline fragments. The deep reds and golds pop against a very dark, shadowed background.
