A meticulously arranged composition of a vintage pocket watch resting on a softly reflective, polished walnut surface, surrounded by scattered, dried autumn leaves in varying hues of amber, crimson, and burnt orange. The pocket watch's intricate metalwork gleams under the delicate, studio overhead lighting, highlighting its finely engraved patterns and slightly tarnished silver casing. The glass face of the watch is crystal-clear, revealing ornate Roman numerals and delicately crafted, blued-steel hands frozen at a precise moment in time.
