The main reason was to get closer to the watch industry, to learn more about watches, about watchmaking and about the people behind our daily wrist companions. The blog was put to sleep for more than a year\u00a0and was revived in the middle\u00a0of September 2018 with a new website.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/watchilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BeFunky-Collage.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watchilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BeFunky-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"watchilove blog overview\" class=\"wp-image-555\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Watchilove.blogspot.com introduced me to a magical world. I started to meet and know the people behind the watches I like. I learned about watchmaking techniques, the work behind the complications I like and the history of the brands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My name is Dan-Andrei Kluska. I was always fascinated by watches from a young age. My first &#8220;real&#8221; watch was a hand-wound Russian Poljot watch. At 13, I learned that I need to take care of it, wind it regularly and be careful with the shocks it takes. I was born and raised in Romania and moved to Germany at maturity. Changing residence to Western Europe made more accessible closer contact to the watch industry. I started the Watch I Love blog at the end of 2014 to make a structured entity with the information I found.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-watchilove-com\/2022\/02\/1b2a60f5-dan-andrei_kluska-1093040-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dan-Andrei Kluska\" class=\"wp-image-60793\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning\u00a0of 2017, I also wrote for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.watchisthis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WatchIsThis blog<\/a>. From May 2017 until the end of Juli 2018, I dedicated my time to <a href=\"https:\/\/deployant.com\/author\/dan-andrei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deployant<\/a>, as a voluntary writer. This opportunity allowed me to learn a lot about different aspects of the industry. I visited factories and watchmakers, I talked directly with the persons involved in the watchmaking process and so on. After taking a vacation away from everything, I decided to revive my <a href=\"https:\/\/watchilove.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch I Love<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My name is Diana. I have always seen watches as a tool, but due to Andrei and his passion for them, I started to appreciate the art and craftsmanship behind them. For me, wearing a watch is not just a fashion statement but also a state of emotional comfort.\u00a0 I used to wear my father&#8217;s watches, and now, just looking at the time brings back fond memories.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-watchilove-com\/2022\/02\/f5be8f8e-diana-maria_kluska-1012025-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Diana Kluska\" class=\"wp-image-60796\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team behind <a href=\"https:\/\/watchilove.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch I Love<\/a> is in a continuing quest for information from the watch industry.
