1. Look out for listings with the white Certified icon

You can recognize Chrono24 Certified watches by the white icon with the letter "C" on the search results pages and respective listing pages. Of course, you can also use search filters to find Certified listings faster. Once you have decided on a Certified watch, you can see at a glance on the listing page whether it is a Partner Certified or Chrono24 Certified watch. See also: What is the difference between Partner Certified and Chrono24 Certified?

2. Testing by Chrono24 watchmakers

After you have booked certification as part of Chrono24 Certified, your watch will be tested and certified by verified watchmakers at our certification center. This includes an authenticity check and a function test. See also: How is the watch tested?

3. You will receive your certified watch including a digital certificate of authenticity

After successful certification, you can be sure that your new watch is genuine. This is confirmed with a digital Certificate of Authenticity and an authenticity guarantee. You can access the Certificate of Authenticity in your Chrono24 account after receiving the watch.

Chrono24 Buyer Protection provides complete security for your payment. If you buy from a professional dealer, we hold the purchase amount in our escrow account for 14 days after you have received your watch. That way, your money is safe and secure until you're fully satisfied with the watch. Only then do we send the money to the dealer. If you’re not satisfied, you can exercise your legal right of withdrawal and return your watch to the dealer within 14 days of receipt without giving a reason. If you purchased your watch from a private seller, we hold the purchase amount in our escrow account for 7 days after you have received your watch. Please note, however, that there is no legal right of withdrawal when purchasing from a private seller.

Certified is our new certification service, where verified watchmakers check and certify the authenticity of watches purchased on our marketplace. We want to provide buyers of luxury watches on Chrono24 with a worry-free purchasing experience. After successful certification, you’ll receive a digital Certificate of Authenticity confirming the authenticity of your watch. In addition, all certified watches come with an authenticity guarantee. See also: How is the watch checked?

All Certified watches are comprehensively checked against specific criteria by a verified watchmaker. This is the only way we can guarantee the authenticity of your watch. The check includes the following:

Authenticity check: The authenticity of the watch is checked both inside and out. We also check to make sure the watch meets our definition of authenticity. See: How do we define authenticity?

Functionality check: We test the watch's complications, winding mechanism, chronograph function, and more. See: How do we define authenticity?

Scope of delivery check: All additional items, such as the original box and papers (if included), are checked for completeness and conformity with the model reference.

Theft check: The watch's serial number is checked against leading stolen watch databases. This ensures that the watch hasn't been stolen or otherwise lost by its rightful owner.

According to our definition of authenticity, a watch is considered genuine if it is either in its original condition (as made by the manufacturer) or has no more than two non-original, non-branded replacement parts. Permitted aftermarket parts are: crown, bezel, hands, or pushers.

Based on our more than 20 years of experience in the watch industry, we believe that replacing a maximum of 2 essential parts with non-branded aftermarket parts does not affect the authenticity of a watch, as these play an important role in maintaining the functionality of watches. However, any aftermarket parts must be noted in the listing. In addition, the watchmakers will note any deviations from the original condition on the Certificate of Authenticity.

Customized or modified watches as well as non-authentic or counterfeit watches cannot be certified. More detailed information can be found in our information brochure: “Chrono24’s Definition of Authenticity.”

Each watchmaker working at our certification center has all the necessary qualifications and technical equipment available to certify watches from specific brands. If Chrono24 Certified is an optional add-on for a watch, the model can be certified by one of our watchmakers. Should any shortcomings arise during the certification process, we will of course assume responsibility in accordance with our authenticity guarantee. See also: What does "authenticity guarantee" mean?

If, during certification, the watch is found to contain key replacement parts (e.g., different hands) that do not bear a brand name or logo, we will reach out to you.

You will then have three options:

1. You can accept the certification results and proceed with your purchase. Your watch will be shipped to you within 1-3 business days.

2. You can cancel your purchase. In this case, we will return the watch to the seller and issue a full refund of both the purchase price and the certification fee.

3. We can ask the seller to reduce the purchase price. If you agree to a lower price, we'll pay you the difference after delivery of the watch.

Our general return conditions apply to the return of Certified watches. If you buy from a professional dealer, you can exercise your legal right of withdrawal within 14 days of receiving the watch and you’ll receive your money back quickly and easily.
There is no legal right of withdrawal when buying from a private seller.

Watches marked Partner Certified have already been certified as authentic by a verified watchmaker working with/for the dealer. Participating dealers are carefully selected by Chrono24 and adhere to our strict Partner Certified guidelines. The relevant watchmakers have been audited by us and have the necessary qualifications and resources to certify the watches.

If Partner Certified is not available for the watch you want to purchase, you have the option of adding certification for an additional charge of £249 with Chrono24 Certified. In this case, the seller sends the watch to our certification center, where it is tested and certified by our in-house watchmakers.

Regardless of whether you choose a Partner Certified or Chrono24 Certified watch, there is no difference in the process or the quality of the certification. Our definition of authenticity, standardized authenticity check, and verification of the watchmakers ensure that our high quality standards are always met. See also: Who checks the watch?

If you choose to add Chrono24 Certified, we will charge an additional fee of £249to cover the costs of insured shipping and certification by our in-house watchmakers. Although shipping costs vary depending on the delivery location, we charge a fixed amount for all buyers. Our watchmakers will send your watch directly to you after certification. After successful certification, you will receive a digital Certificate of Authenticity confirming the authenticity of your watch. In addition, you benefit from an authenticity guarantee. See also: What does “authenticity guarantee” mean?"

The Certificate of Authenticity contains information about the brand and model of the watch as well as the date of issue. The watch’s serial number, production year, reference number, and TC number are also shown on the certificate. If the watchmaker notices any deviations from the original condition with regard to authenticity or the replacement of individual parts during the check, these will also be noted. You have exclusive access to the Certificate of Authenticity after logging into your Chrono24 account.

Together with your certified watch, you will receive a digital Certificate of Authenticity including an authenticity guarantee. This guarantee is based on our definition of authenticity and is valid for 30 days from the certificate’s date of issue. If you find that your watch does not meet our definition of authenticity, please contact our support team. They will look into the matter immediately. Depending on the circumstances, we will either refund the full purchase price or replace the relevant part(s) so that the watch fully complies with our definition of authenticity.
