Company mission
To create a home for watch enthusiasts that’s as vibrant and engaging as their passion for watches.
Our take
Hoxton-based Subdial is improving the watch trading experience. Their platform ensures prices are competitive, all watches are inspected, and there is total transparency throughout the entire process. This has successfully attracted both buyers and sellers.
Subdial is well placed both given its impressive backing, including from the founder of Links, and as it has arrived in a fast-growing market. A report by McKinsey and The Business of Fashion predicted sales of pre-owned watches to grow 8-10% annually from 2019 to 2025, with values soaring from $18B in 2019 to as much as $32B in 2025.
