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. Cole Pennington
One of Hodinkee's most renowned editors, Cole Pennington, is today its star interviewer and one of the most visible faces of the New York-based watchmaker. Host of several of the company's series, such as "Talking Watches," where he interviews famous collectors, and "Watches in the Wild," a program that celebrates watch culture around the world, Cole has earned a place in the scene with over 10 years of writing about watches, travel, motoring, and aviation, always in a friendly and enthusiastic tone.

2. WatchCharts
A highly entertaining and illustrative statistical look at the state of the industry, presented through graphs that track the market values of some of the most popular watches. If you're interested in the "investment" side of our hobby, this account should be in your favorites. Fasten your seatbelts, take a deep breath, and tighten your stomach, because this year's ride is going to be very eventful.

+1. CURATED
For those of us born in the '80s and raised on posters of Countachs, F40s, and Testarrosas on our walls, this dealer is a true architect of fantasy. They specialize in finding very low-mileage examples of "analog" supercars from the '80s and '90s (some from the 2000s, too), and after taking incredible videos and photos that leave us salivating, they sell them to lucky Arab sheiks and crypto millionaires to be kept forever in a garage. Terrible.
