History

By 2015, watches sold through the site totalled £155 million,[3] and annual turnover was £68 million in financial year 2015-16.[1] Online traffic amounts to around 6.7m unique visitors per year, putting it among the highest rates for any horological website.[4]

In addition, the brand is notable for several innovations in the industry:

  • It was the first UK website dedicated to the online sale of second-hand watches when it started in 2002.[3]
  • It was the first retailer to offer a "buy-back guarantee", in which the company refunds the cost of a watch if returned in good condition after two years.[5]
  • It services and repairs at least 600 watches per month in-house.[6]
  • It publishes an online magazine, The Watch Magazine. Published quarterly, it has been downloaded more than 100,000 times.[7]

Watchfinder has been recognised for business success by several industry awards[8][9][4] and is an alumnus of the Sunday Times Fast Track 100.[10]

The company was purchased by Richemont in 2018.[11]
