Chrono24 Targets US Market for Growth
Chrono24 is setting its sights on the US market for growth, despite the absence of a global chief executive following Carsten Keller's departure. The company, under the leadership of Chief Growth Officer José Gaztelu, aims to become the leading secondary market player for luxury watches in the United States. Gaztelu emphasizes the goal of surpassing eBay in luxury watch trading by 2029, fostering deeper relationships with buyers and sellers across major territories. To drive this ambitious strategy, Chrono24 has made key appointments, including Jin Lee from GOAT Group as the new vice president and general manager for the US, and Sophy Rindler from eBay as director of partnerships and industry relations. Lee's experience in the sneaker industry is seen as a valuable asset, as he aims to enhance supply and demand in the US market while promoting Chrono24's authentication program. He envisions making Chrono24 a familiar and trusted platform for watch enthusiasts in America, paralleling the passion and community found in both the watch and sneaker worlds.
