About IWC

IWC was founded in 1868 by Florentine Ariosto Jones, an American engineer and watchmaker. Jones unified the unparalleled skills of Swiss watchmakers with modern American production technologies, and hydropower from a nearby river to produce high quality watches. IWC states that their philosophy is “based on a passion for watchmaking, untiring enterprise and perfect craftsmanship.”

With innovations such as the Pallweber system which featured a digital hours and minutes display, the first chronograph titanium watch case and soft-iron inner case to protect the movement against damaging magnetic fields. With their exclusive designs, meticulous workmanship and commitment to horological advances, IWC has established themselves as one of the finest watchmakers.

 

Where To Sell IWC Watches?

Below are some of the most popular places where you can sell IWC watches:

Pawnshops:

• PROS: A local watch buyer who can quickly pay you in cash on the spot.
• CONS: The offer you receive for your watch will likely be lower than what you could have been paid elsewhere. As pawnshop employees are not trained horologists who can accurately price your watch, they provide cautious offers to compensate for their lack of industry knowledge.

 

Auction Houses:

• PROS: Auction houses have horologists on staff who can accurately price your watch.
• CONS: Selling your IWC watch to an auction house is a waiting game. You must be willing to wait for an auction to be held and for your watch to actually be bought during an auction. Not only is this process long, but the auction house will take a percentage of your profits if the watch sells.

 

Hatton Garden:

• PROS: Contently located in London, Hatton Garden offers a large number of watch buyers to select from. Some buyers may even pay you in cash.
• CONS: Buyers employ high pressure sales tactics, making Hatton Garden a stressful environment. You will also need to be wary of potential unscrupulous buyers. Not all watch buyers are experienced horologists who can properly price your timepiece.

 

Online Ads:

• PROS: You can create a private ad online with websites such as Facebook or eBay. With your own ad you are in complete control of how much you want to price your watch.
• CONS: Online ads are another waiting game where you have no guarantee when or if your watch will sell. Without a rich understanding of the second-hand luxury watch market, setting an accurate price for your timepiece is difficult. Furthermore, not all buyers will feel comfortable buying a high value item from an unfamiliar seller, especially if the seller does not have a history of selling luxury watches.  As the seller, you must also be cautious of potential scammers.

• PROS: WP Diamonds are an established and international luxury watch buyer.
