Watchfinder reports strong start to 2012
Pre-owned specialist Watchfinder has reported a strong start to 2012, with sales for Q1 up 21% on the same period last year.
With sales of over £3.3m for Q1, the Maidstone based retailer sees this as further evidence of the increasing appeal of pre-owned watches amongst fine watch buyers.
“Taken in context, this has to be seen as strong growth, and its further evidence of the increasing appeal of pre-owned premium watches” says Managing Director Stuart Hennell. “The watches we sell are a fantastic combination of luxury and investment. Our clients invest their money in beautiful pre-owned watches knowing that in a couple of years they will almost certainly have appreciated in value. There aren’t many things you can say that about in the boom times, let alone the current economic environment”.
Director Matthew Bowling added “We have some exciting initiatives planned for the next quarter and alongside the opening of a boutique store and international development, Watchfinder is in a great position to build on this growth through the rest of the year”.

The company delivers the ultimate customer experience, providing consumers with a superior way to buy brands such as Rolex, Omega, Breitling, TAG Heuer and Cartier.
