10 Timepiece Instagrams You Should Follow

Anyone can post photos of a beautiful beach or a tasty rack of ribs, but it takes a real eye to curate an Instagram account of rare and collectible watches. (That, plus either some great connections or a massive bankroll.)  Horophiles from all over (and one with that exact name) bring timepieces to the eyes of jealous onlookers through their Instagram accounts. We’ve done the legwork to bring you the ten best watch-porn Instagram accounts.

Make sure you check out our list on the sexiest women you need to follow on Instagram as well.

(1/12)

@Bexsonn

Bexsonn knows two things: watches and whisky. You’ll find both on this Instagram account. Bexsonn is supported by a blog that ‘mixes pleasure with pleasure.’ The account features stunning photos of new releases, close-ups of the intricacies inside and single malts from around the world.

@DailyWatch

DailyWatch isn’t just an account where you can longingly stare at luxurious timepieces. Owning one is just a click away. But, if voyeurism is more your speed, you’ll have more than enough to look at on this Instagram.

@Hodinkee

The people behind the Hodinkee’s Instagram travel around the world to find the most exclusive timepieces to feature. Sometimes, they even take those timepieces on a trip of their own. A Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Boutique Edition watch on a glacier in Iceland? That’s worth a follow.

@KristianHaagen

As an author of five books on watches, a consultant to the auction business and a personal watch collector, Kristian Haagen knows a good timepiece. Most of the photos are his own and he owns some beautiful watches. An Orologi Calamai G-50 in autumn colours in a highlight.

@MarlonDesimone

If you love vintage Rolex watches then this is the account to follow. Run by Marlon, a man who works at Watches in Rome, a vintage Rolex store, the account keeps track of the watches they acquire and sell.

#RedBarCrew

This one isn’t a specific Instagram account, but instead a hashtag that you should look up to see an assortment of watches and the men who love them from around the world. The hashtag lets you know where the group will be and which watches they’ll be wearing.

@TheHorophile

This account stays true to its name by posting nothing but watches. All kinds of watches. Most of the pieces he features (like the the Patek Philippe 5970R pictured above) are on his own wrist, but The Horophile also has an eye for timepieces that appear on television: he caught a glimpse of the Big Bang Ferrari in Magic Gold on Robert Herjavec during an episode of Shark Tank.

@WatchAnish

A quick glimpse at this Instagram feed will be enough to make you want to charge up a credit card. In addition to featuring some of the rarest, most unique and most expensive timepieces in the world, WatchAnish also documents fine cars, menswear and exotic locations. Don’t look while at a desk…it’ll depress you.

@WatchesBySJX

A watch collector from Singapore, Su Jia Xian chronicles his passion for timepieces with photos of some of the world’s most collectible modern and vintage pieces.

@WristPorn

Unlike the other accounts on this list, WristPorn isn’t only about the watches that are worn or coveted by owners. The curator behind this account encourages anyone to tag their own photos with #wristporn for the chance to be featured.

@SharpMagazine

And of course, follow the Instagram account of yours truly. We love us some beautiful watches and aren’t afraid to show it. From the indestructible Swiss Army Inox to the De Ville Central Tourbillon from Omega (pictured above) we have a special appreciation for stunning timepieces.
