Crown & Caliber and Troverie Announce Luxury Watch Trade In, Trade Up Program

New Offering Gives Luxury Watch Owners Cash or a 20% Additional Credit

Towards a New Authorized Watch Purchase on Troverie

ATLANTA & NEW YORK--()--Crown & Caliber, the premier online destination to buy and sell luxury pre-owned timepieces, and Troverie, the brand-authorized, omni-channel destination for new luxury watches, introduced a nationwide trade in, trade up program. The offering seamlessly integrates the world of pre-owned and new luxury brand authorized timepieces with best-in-class, white-glove service offered by both companies.

The program offers owners and collectors of high-end timepieces a trusted and accessible avenue to realize immediate value for their unwanted luxury timepieces and trade up for a new watch on Troverie, securing a new, guaranteed authentic luxury timepiece at a fraction of one’s previous out-of-pocket cost. Based on a complimentary quote provided by Crown & Caliber, whose valuations are based on thousands of historical sales and listings in the second-hand market, customers will receive two offers: (1) a Crown & Caliber cash offer and (2) a Troverie gift card offer with an additional 20% in value – enhancing the cash offer – to be used towards the purchase of a new watch.

“This program with Troverie is the first time ever that luxury watch owners will be able to perform a full transaction of trading in a pre-owned timepiece and acquiring a new luxury timepiece online,” says Hamilton Powell, founder and CEO of Crown & Caliber. “Sellers can expect to receive absolute transparency and high-quality professional service throughout the process, resulting in a valuable and enjoyable experience.”

“At Troverie, we are driven to provide the best possible experience across the entire sales journey. It’s time the experience of selling a luxury watch was on par with other high-value assets like jewelry or automobiles,” adds Fred Levin, founder and CEO of Troverie. “This partnership with Crown & Caliber gives customers across the United States the opportunity to monetize and benefit from the unused watches sitting in their drawers, upgrading them for a new timepiece they will enjoy for many years to come.”

Unlike other online retailers that have been unable to secure authorization from leading luxury brands, Troverie’s fully-authorized collection includes over 1,000 watches from these top luxury manufacturers, such as: Blancpain, Breguet, Breitling, Bulgari, Girard-Perregaux, Omega, and Tag Heuer. All watches on Troverie are available for immediate purchase and delivery from the Troverie network of authorized jewelers around the country. The company’s multi-brand technology platform integrates directly with on-site inventory management and sales systems to ensure availability, efficient order processing, and exemplary customer service through Troverie’s network of trained ambassadors.

The trade-in, trade-up program is a timely response to trends in the luxury goods marketplace. A recent study conducted by Bain & Company demonstrated that online luxury sales increased 24% in 2017 and a marketplace analysis from the Luxury Institute revealed that 21% affluent consumers with an income of over $150,000 prefer to shop online.

Luxury watch brands of consideration for trade in include, but are not limited to: Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Cartier, Panerai, IWC, and Patek Philippe.
