Wrist24 Auctions
How It Works
Every watch is held by Wrist24 for the duration of its auction and shipped directly to the winning bidder by our team. Here is how a Wrist24 auction works — from first look to final delivery.
02.
Vetted in-house
Before a watch is listed it is opened, timed and examined by our watchmakers — movement, case, dial, bracelet and paperwork. Anything we cannot stand behind is never offered. What you see in the listing is what we found.
03.
Register to bid
Create your account and confirm your name, address and phone once. It takes a minute, it is never shown publicly, and it is what keeps the saleroom to genuine collectors rather than anonymous accounts.
04.
Place your maximum bid
Enter the most you are willing to pay and leave the rest to us. We bid on your behalf in increments, only as far as needed to keep you in front — so you never pay more than you had to, and you are told the moment someone passes you.
05.
Soft close — no sniping
A bid in the last five minutes pushes the clock out by another five. It keeps going until bidding genuinely stops, so a lot is won on price rather than on who had the fastest connection in the final second.
06.
Win, settle & receive
When you win a lot — or buy a watch outright — we contact you personally to confirm everything. A 10% payment secures the watch, then your invoice for the balance follows, payable within three to five days by bank transfer or cryptocurrency. Your watch stays with us until payment clears, then goes out by insured security courier, tracked to your door.
Who you are buying from
You buy from Wrist24, not a stranger
Every watch in our saleroom is physically in our possession for the whole of its sale, and it ships to you from us. There is no third-party seller to chase, no waiting to find out whether a watch really exists, and one team accountable from the listing through to the courier.
Good to know
Bidding, explained
What is a maximum (proxy) bid?
It is the highest amount you are willing to pay. We bid for you incrementally, only as much as needed to lead — if others bid less, you win for less.
What does "soft close" mean?
Any bid in the last five minutes pushes the end time out by five minutes, so an auction only ends once bidding has truly stopped.
How do I pay for a watch I have won?
We speak with you personally first. A 10% payment secures the watch, then we invoice the balance, payable within three to five days by bank transfer or cryptocurrency. The watch is dispatched once payment has cleared.
Can I buy a watch without bidding?
Yes. Anything in the collection can be bought outright, and settlement works the same way — we talk it through with you, take 10% to secure it, then invoice the balance.
Do I need to register before bidding?
Yes — a quick one-time profile (name, address and phone) so every bidder in the room is verified.
What does "No Reserve" mean?
There is no hidden minimum price. The highest bid wins the watch, whatever it is.
