About Tickwerk

Tickwerk is for anyone buying, owning or selling a pre-owned watch, roughly in the $1,000 to $20,000 range. We check the numbers the trade gives you: what a service really costs, what dealers and platforms promise, and what you keep when you sell.

Why us

Most of the big English-language sources on pre-owned watches earn money from the sale itself. We don't sell watches, so we have nothing to gain from the choice you make.

What we're not

• Not a price database per model. Other sites track asking prices for every reference.
• Not a news magazine. We don't cover launches or watch fairs.
• Not a marketplace. There's nothing to buy here, and no "sell your watch" button.

Who writes it

Guides are published as Tickwerk Editors. We don't put made-up names or experts on our pages. How we check every figure is described in How we check prices; how the site pays for itself is in How we make money.
