2+1 Recommended by LOFT
Daniel PintoIn this new installment of 2+1, we recommend these fantastic Instagram accounts, favorites of the LOFT team and the watchmaking community.
1. The Urban Gentry
One of the first watch influencers on YouTube, Tristano Geoffrey Veneto ( TGV ) specializes in videos about the pieces in his collection, with a touch of humor and excellent graphics. A respected voice, but one that doesn't take itself too seriously, it's always interesting and educational to watch. Bonus track: he's the creator of the term "Strap Monster."

2. Horological Dictionary
It's by far the most hilarious Instagram account, and we're not just talking about the watch world. Irreverent, creative, cruel, and wise in equal measure, Horological Dicktionary pokes fun at everyone and everything in the industry, with particularly sharp jabs at watch blogs and brands' marketing strategies. Special mention should be made of his trolling of Forex traders and low-level online scammers.

+1. Joe La Puma
The host of the popular show Sneaker Shopping , where celebrities of all stripes are invited to shop for their favorite sneakers, Joe la Puma is one of the leaders of the sneaker collecting and sneakerhead boom. Owner of an enviable collection, on his account you can stay up to date with the most hyped releases of the moment and rejoice in the fact that there are cheaper hobbies than watchmaking.
