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. Zoe Abelson
Zoe Abelson is one of the first and few prominent women in the vintage watch industry, having opened Watchbox ’s first international office in Hong Kong in 2018. Following the pandemic, Zoe decided to return to her native New York and found her own company called Graal (“Grail” in French), which has been a tremendous success and where we can regularly see her sporting some ridiculously amazing pieces on her feed.

2. DIMEPIECE
Brynn Wallner, also based in New York, is the founder of DIMEPIECE.co, a source of expression and unity for all things women and watches. She discovered her love of watches in 2019 while working in the watch department at Sotheby's. It took working on an editorial series featuring select GOAT watches to realize a gap in the narrative: Where were the women? Thus, DIMEPIECE was born, initially as an Instagram account identifying watches on the wrists of fashionable celebrities , now complete with a corresponding website. With inspiring interviews and tutorial-style content, her ultimate desire is to empower women to become savvier collectors when considering their first (or second, or tenth!) luxury watch purchase.

3. Leticia Bufoni
She started skateboarding on the streets of Sao Paulo when she was just 10 years old, and after her first X Games in 2007 in California, she never took the flight back. From there, she's racked up 5 X Games gold medals, multiple multi-million dollar contracts with brands like Red Bull, and even her own reality show on Brazilian TV. A true rockstar who comes across as mischievous, daring, and very approachable on her social media. Unmissable adventures that make us dream of living on the coast and enjoying eternal summer.
