Introduction
The world of luxury watches is often shrouded in questions regarding authenticity, particularly when it comes to online purchases. To address these concerns, Chrono24, one of the largest online marketplaces for luxury watches, has debuted its state-of-the-art authenticity verification service, Partner Certified, in Japan. This initiative ensures buyers can have confidence in their acquisitions by confirming the genuineness of the watches before they finalize their purchases.
What is Partner Certified?
Partner Certified is a revolutionary service that allows customers to buy luxury watches that have been verified for authenticity by expert appraisers. Through Chrono24’s network of authorized sellers, watches undergo a rigorous examination by trained professionals before they are listed for sale. This means that customers can purchase their desired timepieces without worrying about counterfeits or authenticity issues, all while avoiding any additional costs.
CEO’s Vision
Karsten Keller, the CEO of Chrono24, expressed his excitement about the launch of Partner Certified in Japan. He stated, "We take pride in being the world's largest marketplace for luxury watches and in providing the most transparent authenticity verification service in the luxury watch market. Shopping without hesitation allows watch enthusiasts to engage more deeply with their passion for timepieces." This spirit of customer confidence is at the core of the Partner Certified initiative, ensuring a smoother shopping experience for luxury watch lovers.
Authenticity Verification Process
The process for ensuring authenticity under the Partner Certified umbrella is strict and meticulous. Only sellers who meet Chrono24’s rigorous standards can participate in this service. In addition, Chrono24 pre-screens these sellers and the appraisers they employ, verifying their expertise, technical skills, and the tools they use.
During the verification process, both the exterior and internal components of the watch are thoroughly inspected. Appraisers check to see if they align with the authenticity criteria set by Chrono24. Furthermore, the functionality of the watch is assessed to confirm it operates correctly, ensuring that buyers are purchasing a fully functional product.
On purchasing a Partner Certified watch, buyers receive a digital certificate from Chrono24 along with a 30-day authenticity guarantee. Should there be any doubts regarding authenticity, customers can reach out to Chrono24's customer support during this period for assistance.
The Benefits of Partner Certified Watches
Choosing a Partner Certified watch comes with numerous advantages:
1.
No Extra Costs: Because the verification is conducted by the seller beforehand, customers can buy verified watches without paying any additional fees.
2.
Peace of Mind: With the assurance of authenticity, customers can shop online confidently and securely for their luxury watches.
3.
Easier Resale: Having a proven authenticity makes it easier to find buyers should they decide to sell their timepiece later on, saving time and effort in the resale process.
Buying Process
Partner Certified watches are easily identifiable by a distinctive blue badge featuring a “C” at the center. The buying process is as simple as for any other watch: just click the "Purchase" button and follow the provided steps. There are no special procedures required for buyers, making the Partner Certified service incredibly user-friendly.
