Policy

Images, rights & takedowns

We only publish images we have the right to use, we credit them, and we remove things quickly when asked.

Where our images come from

• Contributors' own photos, or photos they have the owner's permission to publish, credited as the owner wishes.
• Collectors' photos of watches they own.
• No image at all when the rights are unclear: a sighting can be published with a description and a link to its source instead.

We don't use brand or dealer logos without permission, and we don't copy images from other websites. Every uploaded photo is re-processed so that hidden information such as GPS location is removed.

Children and privacy

We never show or name children. Photos must be cropped so that no child appears, even in the background. Everyday sightings give the city only and appear at least a week later.

Asking for something to be removed

If a photo is yours and was published without permission, if you're shown in a way that breaks these rules, or if something is simply wrong, tell us:

1. Use the takedown form and choose "Please remove something". Include the page address.
2. We hide content promptly while we look into it — requests involving children are handled first.
3. We reply by email with what we've done. If the content was removed in error, we can restore it.
