About ELITO

ELITO is an online platform for buying pre-owned luxury watches. Our office is located in Switzerland. ELITO is the trusted destination for watch enthusiasts worldwide.

Who are we?

ELITO is not a marketplace, we own every watch that we sell. This allows us to implement a true quality standard. As one of the largest buyers of pre-owned watches worldwide, our selection is ever-changing, with thousands of pre-owned watches from the best brands available at any given time, all of which are inspected and brought to "mint" condition, ensuring exceptional quality.

The family business began in Geneva, Switzerland more than 10 years ago. Started originally by two friends, "ELITO" – is built on the ethos of providing an unparalleled service, efficiency and fair price in the luxury watches industry.

Since its beginnings, it has now grown to include the two younger family members. Originally born and raised in Geneva, they speak many languages such as English, French, German and Dutch. We are proud to have sold thousands of watches so far to many satisfied customers.

We are watch enthousiasts

It all began with references from their delighted customers, among them distinguished members of European royal families, which helped us grow and expand internationally to where we are today. Due to our success, we have now presence in almost each continent in order to meet the rising expectations of our loyal clientele. "You can request any brand or model of a watch, even limited editions, sold-out items, and we will do our utmost to find it." Our aim is to share our passion for watches by sourcing any dream model for our trusted customers.

Our team of 5 associates are some of the most passionate watch enthusiasts in the business, maintaining a superior level of knowledge regarding the history, nuances of current collections, and pulse of the secondary marketplace. And we are here for you. ELITO client advisors can assist with all of your watch-related needs – whether you are looking to buy, sell, or trade timepieces from your personal collection.

Even if a brand or a model you desire is not shown online, do not hesitate to fill out the (request form). We will endeavor to source out your desired watch. ELITO specializes mostly in brand new watches. With all original documentation and packaging, as well as an international warranty. Depending on the value of the watch we will fly personally to hand deliver you. We can therefore provide YOU an unforgettable experience.
