Horologists App Review: A Digital Platform for Collectors
The Horologists app aims to enhance the experience of modern watch collectors by integrating the buying and selling of pre-owned timepieces with features for cataloging, insuring, and tracking personal collections. Launched at Watches & Wonders, it collaborates with authorized retailers to provide a seamless platform for communication and transactions, allowing users to manage their watch portfolios and engage with retailers directly. The app includes sections for news, a personalized collection management tool, insurance options through Allianz, and a shop for Certified Pre-Owned luxury watches. Despite its promising concept, the app still has areas needing improvement, particularly in expanding its inventory and ensuring consistent communication with retailers. Users reported delays in responses, affecting the overall experience. Nevertheless, the platform shows significant potential, and plans for future enhancements include a fully digital insurance service and an auction feature, indicating a commitment to further integrate innovative solutions for watch enthusiasts.
