Welcome to the Middle of March and my renewed interest in watches has led me to asking Google AI to explain – “Watch fans,” also known as watch enthusiasts or WIS (Watch Idiot Savant), are individuals deeply immersed in the world of horology, possessing extensive knowledge and a passion for timepieces, from design and movements to history and collecting.
Enthusiasts: They are passionate about watches, often going beyond simply telling time and delving into the intricacies of watchmaking.
Knowledgeable: Watch fans are well-versed in various watch-related topics, including brands, movements, complications, and the history of horology.
Collectors: Many watch fans are also collectors, accumulating a variety of timepieces, sometimes specializing in specific brands, eras, or styles.
Community: Watch enthusiasts often form communities, sharing their passion and knowledge through online forums, social media groups, and watch clubs.
Slang: Some slang terms used to describe watch fans include “WIS” (Watch Idiot Savant), “Watch Nerd”, and “Watch Snob”.
So on Chatbit, I asked, What fun ‘cult’ or subculture do you find yourself in and what slang name do you Happily enjoy?
