Your prompt
A master watchmaker's documentation board for [TIMEPIECE] — [MANUFACTURE / COMPLICATION / YEAR]. Left section: historical context showing the original patent drawings, period advertisements in gilded frames, and archival photographs of the atelier with craftsmen at work. Center section: the movement in exploded view, every wheel, spring, and jewel suspended in precise spatial relationship, with material callouts (Geneva stripes, blued screws, ruby bearings) and functional annotations tracing the flow of power from mainspring to escapement. Right section: the completed watch in its defining context—wrist of an explorer, pocket of a diplomat, or display case of a collector—captured with shallow depth and warm side lighting. Visual style transitions from sepia patent office to mechanical precision chrome to intimate portraiture. Title block reading "[WATCH NAME] — CALIBRE [NUMBER], [COMPLICATION], CIRCA [YEAR]".
When to use it
Use when a watch brand, collector or auction listing wants one heritage-style board that explains a single timepiece.
How to get the best result
- Name one watch, real or invented; the exploded movement in the center panel is drawn from that model's calibre.
- Keep the watch name short, since the title block adds calibre, complication and circa year after it on the same line.
- Fill the calibre number, complication and year in the advanced controls; they print verbatim in the title block.
Watch-outs
- Callouts for stripes, screws and jewels plus power-flow notes are dense text; Nano Banana garbles some small labels.
- The title block is one long line of real text; fewer words in the watch name and complication mean fewer misspellings.
