For proper watch pictures I would go for a DSLR with a set of good prime lenses so you can get that nice bokeh and color you see in watch brochures. You want to use available light (not flash) and and experiment with different aperture settings/exposure times, lighting tricks.

Leica makes great cameras (ie: the M bodies and lenses that go with them)


Too much white in the background and you should diffuse the light as well or shine it against something white so it reflects back towards the watch.
