Meaning of the Instagram hashtag 'Sex pile' will qualify as another of lifes huge disappointments
The word sex can conjure up multiple images but Instagram's latest trend 'Sex pile' has nothing sexual about it. The hastag #Sexpile is often used for images of luxury watches on Instagram. Images of watched heaped on top of each other is what has created this trend.
According to Quartz, the majority of sex-piled watches tend to be large-faced luxury models, though all types are welcome, and they’re posted almost entirely by Red Bar Group, a club for watch collectors and enthusiasts that meets weekly to discuss their passion.
Red Bar started out as a monthly meet-up between two New Yorkers, Dr. Jeffrey Jacques and Adam Craniotes. What began as casual drinks and watch talk quickly evolved into quite the happening weekly gathering, due to Adam and Jeff’s common goal of sharing their passion with other watch enthusiasts in a fun and approachable manner. Social media and online forums have played a large part in the development of Red Bar, as new members are always attending as a result of the crew’s drool-worthy, watch-covered table shots as seen on Instagram.
Watch collecting is becoming more mainstream through social media, and the Red Bar crew has certainly made a mark especially with such quirky hashtags.
