About WatchForum.com:
WatchForum is a close-knit community of watch owners, watchmakers, and collectors. In addition to hosting multiple sub-forums dedicated to renowned brands such as
Rolex, Seiko, Omega, IWC, and Patek Philippe, our website serves as a valuable institutional resource, specializing not only in vintage timepieces, but also encompassing watch repair, clocks, and pocket watches. Our members hail from all walks of life, and whether you are an experienced collector or new to the hobby, we welcome you to our family and offer our friendship. Our mission is to rebuild the camaraderie and collegial atmosphere of watch collecting from the 1990's and 2000's that Instagram has lost.
Our History:
The idea for
WatchForum started in 2018 when veteran Seiko collectors
SeikoForum and
RSeiko discussed the idea of showcasing their respective collections using advanced forum software. The website officially debuted as
SeikoForum.com in November 2019. Between 2020-2022, the community flourished and experienced significant growth. Recognizing
BloominCookie's valuable contributions to the watch collecting community, he was appointed chief resident moderator in March 2022. In January 2023,
SeikoForum.com underwent a rebranding and emerged as
WatchForum.com. In a monumental move to safeguard the community,
SeikoForum acquired the plural
WatchForums.com domain name as an insurance policy in June 2023. This action led to the unprecedented consolidation of the internet's two most influential and desirable domain names for watch enthusiasts.
