OUR FAVORITE WATCH INFLUENCERS
The watch space is absolutely SATURATED with content, individuals, companies, and entities.
There is so much from so many it can be considerably difficult to differentiate quality from quantity especially as a beginner.
1. Watches of Espionage:
The man, myth, the legend; sir WOE. I (Hunter) highly attribute my development in this journey to considerable influence from the works of sir WOE. This anonymous gentleman has gained astronomical traction in the industry in recent years with new comers and seasoned alike. WOE provides unique perspective highlighting timepieces of historical and current figures (especially those of military, law enforcement, political, or espionage backgrounds).

3. Bark and Jack
Bark and Jack is an adventure oriented lifestyle YouTuber (Adrian Barker). His content is a casual have yourself a cup of coffee environment highlighting timepieces of all varieties (tool/adventure watches are the themed primary consideration).
