Andrew from Watchfinder announced a personal watch channel

I think most of us probably love the Watchfinder channel and maybe lately you've noticed some frustration there about the algorithm "forcing" them into as much mainstream ( Rolex) content as possible. Andrew wants to be able to talk about any watches : "the best and worst the world has to offer" I have a feeling a lot of us would like to support him...so here's a link.

I could imagine that he and Tom could make more money monetizing Youtube than they do working for Watchfinder. Though, as always, there's significantly more risk in going it alone. But, in his case, I would imagine that we all watch the Watchfinder videos for him, rather than anything to do with Watchfinder and Richemont Group.

Shameless plug:
Charity auction for Victorinox INOX Mechanical Blue ends today at 12pm PT!
Every $1 of winning bid gets matched and turned into $4 for Kenyan families living below the international poverty line of $1.90 / day:

Yeah the idea of the Richemont group never crosses my mind.
Earned a sub from me immediately. Those two are the best talkshow in watches.
I like watchfinder !! Now I see his face I don’t want to watch it anymore…
😂
I’ll sub…I do love their content…
It’s my fault. I asked them to show their faces. 😆 The microphone thing got old fast.
Good luck, subscribed, will see what he comes up with :)
Well colour me pink and push me down the stairs, thank you all so much for your kind words! I sincerely hope the videos are fun and enjoyable and not a steaming heap of pixels…

Wish you all the best in the future mate you're eloquence is unmatched. Will we see more of you or are you sticking with the "hands and macro?"

I for one an really looking forward to this channel, so I've subscribed. I've always enjoyed the Watchfinder channel, and suspect that this will be even better. Glad to see you on WatchCrunch as well.

Thank you very much! At the risk of making it sound rubbish, it’ll be more of me. I want to do something a little different to what you can already see over on Watchfinder.

I'm excited to see how you find your voice when you have more complete editorial control.

This is going to take some getting used to…😂
Good luck with the channel and welcome to WC!
The hands have a face! Way to blow my illusions though. He's not how I pictured him. I imagined more, you know, buttoned-up, more... British. And IDGuy wasn't what I pictured either.
On a side note, Bark and Jack is no longer Bark and Jack, and Watch Gringa is no longer Watch Gringa. What's up with all this watch YouTuber unmasking, showing their faces, or revealing (or highlighting) their real names?
Welcome! Thanks for all the amazing content and I look forward to seeing what you do. I know it was a tough call, but sadly it’s another feed the algorithm necessity, but I’m here for it.
Thanks very much!
No tough call—Watchfinder will continue on! This is just me noodling around making some extra bits I fancied doing. Hope you enjoy it 😊
With the best will in the world, I always enjoy how wildly off speculations about what we do and how we do it are 😁
The channel for Watchfinder is only really a small part of my job there and there are only a couple of people helping me with it. This extra channel exists because I wanted to have some fun making some videos by myself really. In terms of workload, both pale into insignificance compared to the day job!
Thank you for the goodwill and I hope you enjoy the videos 😊
Now that's interesting, what is your day job if you don't mind me asking?

We are here for you!! Such amazing content and insight for years and I know with your own channel it will just enable your creativity to blossom 😊 Excited I am within the first wave of subscribers! 👍
Congrats Andrew, best wishes in all your endeavors. Hope you don't still hold a grudge from when I did my WF parody 😉
Creative people are all over the place, I peripherally consider myself on the fringes of the group and my channel has changed names multiple times and I'm always waking up with new ideas and directions 🤪 there's no destination, enjoy the process!

We all loved that episode Max ! I think you got a comment from Watchfinder 🍻
Now that's interesting, what is your day job if you don't mind me asking?
I’m the Content Director at Watchfinder. I oversee the production of all the marketing materials. The YouTube channel is something I started a few years ago just because I wanted to share some of the watches I got to see every day.

Seeing that video made my day 😂 I remember it well!
Congratulations on your own channel, Andrew. I wish you to be very successful in this new opportunity.
I hope that you will carry talking about the breadth of brands, from Casio to Mille and of course the surge of the independent watchmakers.

Thank you! Hopefully I’m going to bring a whole bunch of topics I wouldn’t normally cover to make it worthwhile watching 😅

Neat! I had no idea you oversaw a whole department's worth of collateral, it all makes sense now. Thanks for the work you do, looking forward to the personal stuff too!
