Watchfinder & Co.

It's difficult not to trip over an ampersand when browsing watch blogs or retailers.

HA!
I think you might be missing the point of my original post. It's not simply names with ampersands (an "....& Son" , or "...& Co." are age-old), it's the recent, and insufferable, trend of two seemingly random words strung together. To give you an idea, this simply says it all (Have fun!):

Ha... no, I fully understood your point. Watchfinder & Co. was just "Watchfinder" up until circa 2015. Their ampersand is recent and therefore relevant.

Gray & Sons is simply an inescapable example of an ampersand name, new or old. While not "hipster" by definition, anyone with an ampersand gets lumped into the mix whether they like it or not.

I'm going to change my username to 3&7 just to be more relevant to the industry.

HA! Oh, man, you have to do that! And source a really faux, olde timey font for your name, too.

I should. I wonder if people will take me more seriously that way? lol

Crook & Victim was the most entertaining it produced for me. That one is so good I'd almost form a business around it just for the laughs.

There's the practical issue that most single word domain names are already claimed
