I need to be drinking to look at stuff like this. This is a photo…not a drawing. I can kind of understand how they do this with a drawing…but a real object?

I think one of my commenters has the answer.
Yep, Gail's commenter has it right. The bar running from upper left to lower right is actually a spur sticking out in the direction of the watch, and the end of it hangs in mid-air over the end of its shadow.
The end of the spur is carefully beveled - and the model carefully angled toward the camera - so that from the camera's point of view, the forward edge of the spur lines up exactly with the left edge of the right vertical post.
To complete the illusion, a 2x2x1 block is glued to the right post at exactly the height that its edges appear to be in line with the edges of the spur.
