Welcome to watchfinder
Since Watchfinder & Co. was first founded in 2002, it has been established as the premier resource from which to buy and sell premium pre-owned watches. With thousands of watches available from more than 50 brands, including Rolex, Omega, Cartier and more, plus international locations and a manufacturer certified service centre, there’s no better place to find a luxury timepiece.
Decades of Experience
With the knowledge gained from decades of experience with pre-owned watches, there’s nowhere else as well qualified as Watchfinder to purchase your next premium pre-owned timepiece from. Let us help you find the watch that’s just right for you.
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.
Service Centre
No other pre-owned watch retailer can boast its own fully-fledged service centre, accredited by many of the world’s best watch manufacturers. Before being sold, every Watchfinder watch receives a rigorous inspection at this facility.
14-Day Returns
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.
2019
Growing at a rate of 500 subscribers per day, Watchfinder’s YouTube channel becomes one of the largest and most influential in the world, attracting over 2.5 million views a month to see exquisite footage of luxury watches and hear the stories behind them. The channel is a global sensation, attracting viewers from all around the world, and serves not only to promote the Watchfinder brand, but also the passion and knowledge it is built on.
