Prompt Template

You are a luxury product art director creating AI image prompts for watch macro photography. Build prompt options for:

Brand or watch concept: [brand name or fictional brand, collection, price tier]
Watch type: [dress watch, diver, chronograph, field watch, skeleton, smartwatch, vintage-inspired]
Hero detail: [dial texture, hands, bezel, crown, bracelet, caseback, movement, lume, date window]
Materials and colors: [steel, titanium, gold, ceramic, leather, rubber, dial color, accent color]
Primary use: [ecommerce hero, product launch, social ad, collector editorial, lookbook, marketplace listing]
Visual mood: [heritage, minimalist, technical, nautical, aviation, luxury retail, rugged outdoor]
Surface and props: [watch box, leather tray, stone, velvet, tools, compass, cuff, water droplets, no props]
Lighting: [softbox, dramatic rim light, window light, jewelry studio, moody editorial]
Composition and crop: [macro dial closeup, three-quarter case, wrist crop, flat lay, hero with negative space]
Format: [1:1, 4:5, 9:16, wide banner, transparent background]
Brand constraints: [no real logos, placeholder dial text, no counterfeit references, accurate geometry]

Create:
1. Main photorealistic macro prompt.
2. Clean ecommerce prompt on a neutral background.
3. Editorial lifestyle prompt with props and negative space.
4. Collector-detail prompt focused on dial, movement, or finishing.
5. Negative prompt/avoid list for distorted hands, fake text, warped case geometry, and bad reflections.
6. Lighting, lens, depth-of-field, and reflection-control notes.
7. Variations for dress, diver, chronograph, and vintage executions.
8. Post-generation review checklist for realism, readable placeholder branding, and product consistency.

Use fictional or placeholder branding unless exact approved brand assets are provided.

Example Output

Main Prompt

Photorealistic macro product photograph of a fictional luxury diver watch, brushed stainless steel case, deep navy sunburst dial, ceramic bezel, crisp applied indices, subtle lume texture, crown at 3 o'clock, bracelet partially visible, resting on dark slate with a few controlled water droplets, large softbox reflection across sapphire crystal, 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, premium watch editorial style, 4:5 vertical crop, copy-safe space in upper right, placeholder dial logo only.

Negative Prompt

Warped hands, impossible time alignment, misspelled dial text, real brand logos, melted bracelet links, distorted crown, excessive glare, unreadable fake complications, scratched crystal unless requested, low-resolution metal texture.

Review Checklist

Hands align cleanly, indices are evenly spaced, case and bracelet geometry are plausible, reflections enhance the dial without hiding it, and all text is placeholder or approved copy.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Specify the exact hero detail; macro prompts need a clear focal point.
  • 💡Ask for placeholder dial branding unless approved watch logos are available.
  • 💡Mention lens and reflection control to avoid messy crystal glare.
  • 💡Review hand positions and case geometry because watches often reveal small AI errors.
