Time Is Money Watches: pre-owned luxury watches in Greater Manchester

Time Is Money Watches is a family-run business founded by two brothers, operating from a boutique in Hale, Altrincham, with additional stores in Manchester and Liverpool. The company describes itself as a UK specialist in buying, selling and sourcing pre-owned luxury watches, and presents its Hale premises as a discreet showroom where clients can try on pieces before deciding.

The business frames its activity around three services: selling a watch, sourcing a specific model and part-exchanging an existing piece. Its stated approach combines valuation of pre-owned timepieces with a buying process designed to produce a quote quickly; the site says the process from submitting watch details to receiving a quote can take as little as 24 hours, and it advertises same-day payouts for watch sales.

Brands and models handled

The catalogue is organised by brand and by popular model. The brands named are Rolex, Richard Mille, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Cartier. Among models, the site lists Rolex references such as Datejust, Day-Date, Submariner, GMT-Master, GMT-Master II, Sky-Dweller and Daytona, and a Patek Philippe Aquanaut. The shop is divided into all watches and men's watches.

Selling, sourcing and part exchange

For sellers, the company offers valuation of pre-loved watches and a streamlined buying process intended to deliver a fair and competitive quote. It also runs a part-exchange service that allows a client to trade an existing watch against another from its range. For buyers looking for a particular reference, the sourcing service works from criteria supplied by the client: the team proposes a selection of watches it can source, and then assists with the purchase once the piece has been chosen.

The site presents the business as enthusiast-led, stating that pre-loved luxury watches are a passion rather than only a commercial line, and that valuations take into account craftsmanship, history and brand reputation. It also mentions a watch repair service among its watch services.

Showroom visits and additional locations

The main showroom is at 5 Crown Passages, Hale, Altrincham WA15 9SP, and visits are by appointment. The company also lists a Manchester Deansgate store at 83 Deansgate, Manchester M3 2BW, and a Liverpool location at 2-12 Lord St, Liverpool.
