International platform with worldwide dealers

Qlekta brings together respected worldwide dealers and individual watch collectors to help them list their timepieces conveniently. It creates a wide range of possibilities for buyers to find novelties, hunt for rare and exclusive models, build their wishlist for future purchases, and at the end of the day - buy their desired timepiece.

Honest price

What creates transparency and an honest price? It is a wide choice and the possibility to compare. We strive to attract as many sellers as possible to create many listings and fair competition.

No commissions

It goes without saying. Buyers don't pay anything but the final price of the watch. Sellers cover small fees.

Direct contact with seller

Qlekta doesn't sell watches and doesn't interfere in your confidential communication with the seller. You start the communication and agree on all aspects and risks of the deal.

Sellers rating

It is an essential indication for your choice of vendor. Buyers can rate their experience of communication with the sellers and say how their deal went. The rating will be seen in the public profile and will help the buyers to choose trustworthy sellers. The buyer can leave a comment even if the deal didn't happen. Rating is based on five-star assessment and text feedback from customers. One could tell about how quickly the seller responded, how the deal went, whether the item was the same as in the description, etc. In the public profile, the rating of the seller and all of the feedback will be shown. By providing feedback and rating sellers, users help each other to choose trustworthy vendors who are easy to communicate with. It is essential to share experience from a deal with others on the platform. If you cannot decide, the item of which seller to choose, the rating of, and the feedback about the seller will be beneficial in selecting the right seller.

Verified sellers

Only trusted sellers earn this badge. It means the seller has had a numerous amount of successful transactions, has received positive feedback from buyers, and Qlekta has done background checks.

Why to create profile?

Rule of the thumb - to contact a seller, you don't need a profile, you can remain anonymous, but there are several benefits in having a profile:

Saved articles

The more you know about the watch market, the better decisions you can make. Qlekta features a wide range of news and advice articles. This feature allows you to save your favorite articles to read later or use a checklist for your watch purchase.

Your wishlist

The purchase of a luxury watch should not be a fast decision-making process. Your wishlist is private and visible for you only. Access it in your profile, add discoveries and remove redundant ones.

Automated wishlists

These wish lists are created based on your navigation history - each listing you open is saved in the automated wishlist. You can edit this list at any time and move items to your permanent wishlist.

Data safety

Safe storage of your personal information is of high importance for us. We will not share your data with anyone. We will store it safely on our servers. Read more on data protection in Qlekta Privacy policy.

Why is Qlekta the best choice?

What makes us unique? We don't interfere in watch trade transactions and leave it as a discrete deal between seller and buyer.
