What started as a simple passion for watches is now bringing collectors together through content and community. “Watch Mate,” a YouTube channel created by watch enthusiast Akash Barman, is gradually building a space where beginners and collectors can learn about watches in an easy and practical way.
Through watch reviews, discussions, and educational content, Watch Mate focuses on making watch collecting more accessible and fun. The platform has grown into a small but engaged community of enthusiasts who share the same appreciation for horology.
Recently, Watch Mate hosted its first watch collectors’ meetup in Kolkata where enthusiasts came together to connect, share their collections, and discuss their interest in watches. The meetup marked an important step in turning an online community into real-world interactions among collectors.
With more meetups planned in the future, Watch Mate with his friends and fellow enthusiasts aims to continue growing this community and eventually expand into larger collector events and exhibitions that celebrate watch culture.
Watch enthusiasts can follow Watch Mate on YouTube and the Instagram page “watch__mate” to stay updated on upcoming content and community events.
