Watchfinder revamps its website

Online luxury watch retailer Watchfinder has revamped its website and expects more than 500,000 visitors in November.

Revamped in time for Christmas, the Watchfinder website, www.watchfinder.co.uk, has been designed following months of research into what site users want.
The company says the layout is uncomplicated, navigation is image based and more intuitive, and the photography is of high quality.

The Watch Magazine, edited in house by Andrew Morgan, is new to the site and includes contributions from UK watch journalists.

Early indications suggest that the changes have been well received and a spokesperson for Watchfinder said that visitor figures for November are expected to exceed half a million for the first time in Watchfinder’s history.

Co-Founder Matt Bowling said: “Nowhere has the world of luxury watches come together in one place as at Watchfinder.co.uk. In the last 12 months our sales of pre-owned watches have doubled. We’ve seen a huge surge of interest from customers who consider luxury watches to be just as important as their cars and clothes.”

The company said that the economic climate is one factor feeding the rapid expansion. Watchfinder sales manager Alex Stonely commented: “It’s understandable that people are wanting their money to work a bit harder for them, and that’s what the pre-owned watch market is all about. Great quality, great value, and some of these watches actually increase in value over time, it makes perfect sense.”
