step 5 of 25
For everything but the faceplate design, I copied, used levels to darken, shifted to the right and then gently blurred the shadows. For the face plate, I used levels to darken and lighten copies. I shifted the dark layer and used a soft eraser to carefully erase the highlights away. I also used dodge and burn on the circles.

I wasn't exactly thinking ahead for this, so I had to improvise. To get the clock shape symmetrical, I painted a wavy "shadow" over the clock. I then very carefully erased the part of the clock covered by the shadow.
