Inspiration, information, and entertainment – Instagram certainly makes it hard to put down your smartphone. Our authors regularly search the platform for accounts making a splash – purely for research purposes, of course! With images of rare watches, the wardrobes of well-dressed gentlemen, nearly forgotten classic cars, and brilliant photography all around, we’ve found five accounts that are worthy of your attention.
@cremeandpatina
What’s behind the name @cremeandpatina? This gentleman’s account is all about vintage watches, brown leather straps, and capturing that perfect moment when the light hits the dial just right. Vintage Submariners, Navitimers, and modern G-Shock and Seiko watches are just some of the treats watch enthusiasts can find in this feed. Follow!

There are few individuals who stay as true to their own style as Mr. Justus Frederic Hansen. The male model is well-known in online and offline circles, and his account is one of the best sources of outfit inspiration out there. If you take a closer look, you’ll soon discover that watches are one of his many passions – a vintage pre-moon Speedmaster was recently spotted peeking out from beneath his sport coat sleeve. Which watch will be next?

The watch industry needs more women like Cara Barrett. The Hodinkee editor’s account isn’t just a collection of pretty wrist shots – she gives an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the popular magazine – and she knows her stuff. Plus, Cara’s Tudor Black Bay suits her better than it does most men. We’d like to see Cara make more frequent appearances in the “Talking Watches” series.

@arnhoff
A penthouse with views over Oslo and an ever-changing range of “super cars” driving through the Norwegian landscape – these are some of the things you have to look forward to if you follow this account. Of course, there’s also a collection of Rolex, Omega, and Audemars Piguet watches that would make most watch fans swoon. Andreas Arnhoff’s feed features a host of spectacular shots. His newest toy is a customized, all-black Rolls Royce Ghost.

Another account that deserves some attention belongs to a Dutch watch nerd. His collection is focused on timepieces from Omega, IWC, Tudor, Zenith, and Rolex. He often posts photos of his watches perched precariously on the edge of coffee cups – the lengths we go to for the perfect photo! Some of his images already have over 1,000 likes, but we’re confident those numbers have the potential to grow!
