Reference · Watch community
A community for people who notice watches.
The dial you keep coming back to. A strap that changes the whole watch. A question about your first service. Reference gives those conversations a place alongside the watches you save.

Start with a watch. See where the conversation goes.
Share a photograph, ask a question or read what other collectors are discussing. A daily Seiko, a vintage Cartier and an unfamiliar maker all have a place here.
Three views, one watch community
Discover shows recent posts in chronological order, with topics to help you find a conversation. Following brings together posts from collectors you follow. You holds your profile and your own posts, including work that has not been published.
More than a wrist check
Post a watch photograph with an optional caption, or start a text discussion about movements, straps, servicing or collecting. Reply when you have something to add; leave an appreciation when a post catches your eye. You can follow its author from their profile.
Look closer at a watch
A tagged watch opens a focused details page with available catalogue facts and background. It shows a studio portrait where one is available. Looking at another collector’s watch does not add it to your Index or mark it as yours.
A profile you choose to share
Your public profile brings together your published posts and any achievement badges you choose to display. The wrist-check calendar records approved public wrist checks. It is separate from your private wear history, so logging today’s watch does not publish a post.
Before you join the conversation
Can other collectors see my Index?
No. Your Index, ownership records, personal notes, purchase details and private watch values stay private. A public post shares the content you choose to publish, not your collection records.
What can I post in the watch community?
Photos must clearly feature a watch, and discussions must be about watches. Submissions are checked before publication. Moderation cannot catch everything; you can also report content or block another collector.
Do I need to own a watch to take part?
No. You can ask questions, join discussions and appreciate watches without owning them. A watch appearing in a post is not a claim of ownership.
How do I share a watch?
Open Community and create a post from a watch photo or one of your saved captures. Review the content and choose to publish. It stays private while checks are pending, and you can withdraw your post later.
