Our History

Press play to follow our journey

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

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.

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

2002

A decade ago, a group of friends discovered that the facility to buy and sell premium timepieces online did not exist, and so they pooled their respective talents together to create what is now the UK’s number one pre-owned retailer of luxury watches, Watchfinder. The company started life at a desktop PC in the home of one of the founders, but it wasn’t long until the idea blossomed and grew into something far, far bigger.

2003

Following the sale of a Paul Newman Daytona for £13,000 and an overwhelming level of customer interest, it was time for Watchfinder to sink or swim. All the founders came on board full time, additional staff were hired, and the whole enterprise moved to a small office in Maidstone. From there, the website was updated and a new logo made to match, and interest in the company extended as far as ‘The Times’ newspaper, which featured Watchfinder in an article that continued to drive enquiries ever higher.

2006

The company grows, creating demand for more staff and an office space. The new, in-house stock management software goes live, and work begins on turning the ground floor of the new office into a showroom to cater for customers who prefer meeting face to face. Despite rising oil prices and a disconcerted marketplace about to fall into recession, customers continue to enjoy Watchfinder’s service on an ever-increasing scale.

2009

The introduction of the photography department, managed by professional photographers, establishes the use of high-quality imagery at Watchfinder. The website is then populated with high-resolution photos of all the stock — an important part of an online purchase, allowing customers to see their next watch in detail — which in turn pushes the total page views for the year to over twenty-five million.

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

2012

Watchfinder entered 2012 still riding the wave of success that began propelling it ten years ago. Annual turnover is at £13 million, staff numbers have increased to over thirty people, a servicing department has been established to prepare watches for sale, and The Watch Magazine was launched too. The enthusiasm that drives the company forward remains as strong as ever, because there’s no time to stand still.

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

2013

By popular customer demand, Watchfinder opened its first dedicated boutique in glamourous City of London location The Royal Exchange. Sat alongside some of the luxury greats, the Watchfinder boutique opened its doors to huge success, demonstrating a need for both the online and bricks-and-mortar customer interaction. The ability to hold and compare watches in the hand only further cemented the growth of the Watchfinder brand.

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

2014

With an increasing need to purchase watches comes a need to expand the service centre to accommodate them. So, in 2014, the service centre was increased in size to allow more highly talented watchmakers to work on more watches. The skill and equipment appointed exceeded the requirements to achieve manufacturer accreditation, and so the official certifications of some of the biggest watch brands in the world started to accumulate.

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

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.

Created with Raphaël 2.2.0

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.
