WatchBox’s founders and leadership believe that physical locations and high-touch personal service in key global markets are invaluable to the widespread acceptance and understanding of the luxury pre-owned watch category. Following the launch of WatchBox divisions in Hong Kong, South Africa and Switzerland, the expansion within the U.S. represents the next phase of strategic growth for the company. The recent acquisition of Chronofy, the valuation subscription service for pre-owned watches, provides WatchBox with the infrastructure and technology to take its services to a network of retailers.

Amanda Ellison, global president and chief operating officer of WatchBox, added, “WatchBox is thrilled to bring our pre-owned buying, selling, and trading practices to Hing Wa Lee Jewelers. Their stellar reputation and standard of excellence make Hing Wa Lee the perfect inaugural partner for our network. Through this partnership, WatchBox formalizes the intersection of the primary and secondary watch markets, which means that Hing Wa Lee is now equipped to offer what today’s watch consumer is seeking – a trustworthy partner for the buying, selling and trading of both new and pre-owned timepieces under one roof.”

Hing Wa Lee’s buying, selling and trading services commence at the company’s locations in San Gabriel and Walnut, CA. WatchBox’s extensive inventory is now presented on hingwaleejewelers.com/watchbox in the WatchBox Digital Corner, as well as through interactive digital showcases in each of Hing Wa Lee’s stores.

A celebratory launch and trade-in event is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 8, at Hing Wa Lee’s Walnut location, during which a selection of exceptional pre-owned watches will be exhibited and available for sale and WatchBox representatives will be onsite for complimentary valuations.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
