Spend Less
With Watchfinder’s pre-owned collection, not only can you spend less, you can reap from your investments, too. A pre-owned watch doesn’t have the sting of showroom depreciation, and can even increase in value over the years.

Buying a pre-owned watch online couldn’t be any easier than this. With 14 days to change your mind, you can be sure you’ll love your next watch — but if you don’t, you can send it straight back for a full refund.

Introduction
Starting an internet-based company just after the dotcom crash may seem a ludicrous idea to some, but that is exactly where the origins of Watchfinder can be found. Discover how a simple idea and a passion for doing things the right way resulted in the growth of a small online business into the class-leading pre-owned watch specialist Watchfinder is today. It’s a journey that has positively changed the face of the watch industry forever.
2017
The efforts of the Watchfinder business development were repaid in 2017 with a placement in the 2017 Sunday Times Profit Track 100 listing, ranking 48th amongst a showcase of companies that demonstrated the fastest growing profits over a period of three years. This highly prestigious achievement demonstrated the promise of the Watchfinder model, charting previous winners such as Carphone Warehouse and Dyson in its years of operation.
2018
Watchfinder’s dominance in the pre-owned market was recognised in 2018 through the purchase by international group Richemont. Owners of other such watchmaking and jewellery masters as Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre and IWC, Richemont’s purchase of Watchfinder is indicative of the importance of the pre-owned market in the cycle of luxury purchasing. The international expansion of the Watchfinder brand also begins.
