At H&T, we're a specialist provider of quality used luxury watches. Each watch undergoes extensive cleaning and performance checks before being featured in our collection. Our expert team of in-house horologists double-check each timepiece to ensure complete authenticity. If we have the slightest hint of doubt as to whether a watch is genuine, we do not put it up for sale.

We thoroughly prepare our pre-owned watches in the UK. Before we display any timepiece online or in-store, we run a series of timekeeping tests to ensure it meets our unwavering quality standards. After a used watch passes these tests, we supply an authentication card and a one-year warranty with each listing.

Why choose a pre-owned or used luxury watch?
Pre-owned luxury watches make the truly exquisite more accessible than ever before. Whether you're buying a special gift or adding a piece to your collection, there are so many advantages to choosing used Swiss watches over brand-new models.
From Rolex to TAG Heuer, we're proud to provide superb pre-owned watches for sale, both online and in-store. Below are a few reasons to consider buying a used watch instead of ordering a brand-new one.
Iconic luxury watches at lower prices
Buying a second-hand watch is the easiest way to get your hands on that model you've always dreamed of. You may be building a collection or are looking to mark a special occasion with a memorable gift. Whatever your plans, you can rest assured that choosing a second-hand watch is never a compromise.
Here, you can expect to find watches from world-renowned manufacturers. We have modern and vintage timepieces available from names like Cartier, OMEGA, and many more. No matter which model you choose, buying a used watch from H&T delivers unrivalled value.
Faultless performance, guaranteed
We're honoured to showcase the best Swiss watchmaking expertise in our collection of used watches across the UK. Honouring decades of innovation behind every brand, we conduct careful testing and inspections before we put a used watch up for sale.
We're experts in watch anatomy, so we know how to provide working, reliable timepieces. Every second-hand watch must meet our strict timekeeping standards before it reaches our collection. Our in-house team also double-checks for authenticity, and if we can't confirm its genuine origins, we won't sell the watch.
Long-term value
Older luxury watch models still turn heads today. This industry is timeless, so if you've been waiting for a while for a specific model to cross your path, buying second-hand watches could be the best approach.
You can buy a used watch with confidence that it will never go out of style. The finest timepieces exude permanent class and elegance, especially those by manufacturers like Rolex and Tudor. Luxury watches never look out of place, so as long as you keep yours in good condition, they can retain their value or even be appreciated.

At H&T, we take pride in the variety of brands included in our collection of second-hand watches for sale. We have pre-owned ladies' and men's watches from the most reputable brands across the globe. Just a few examples include:
Used Rolex watches
Of all the second-hand men's watches in our collection, those manufactured by Rolex are among the most highly sought-after. Steeped in a history of innovative designs and intricate, flawless movements, the brand's reputation is unrivalled.

Second-hand Cartier watches
If you're seeking a used watch that represents timeless style and elegance, it's worth looking at the second-hand Cartier watches in our collection. Cartier tends to produce smaller, daintier, and ornate watches, making it a brilliant way to find that perfect used ladies' luxury watch.
These watches attract international attention. Where mechanical excellence and creative freedom manifest in each design, the definitive Cartier style is like no other. Our pre-owned Cartier watches are ready to be worn at luxury resorts, in the ballroom or as you cross the skies.
