Chrono24 | Revolutionising the Watch Industry
Chrono24, founded in 2003, has significantly transformed the luxury watch industry from a traditional offline market to a thriving online marketplace.

This extensive reach establishes Chrono24 as a dominant player in the luxury watch sector.
Leclerc's investment comes at a pivotal time, coinciding with a major €100 million funding round led by General Atlantic and Aglaé Ventures. This substantial injection of capital aims to accelerate Chrono24's global expansion and enhance it's user experience, particularly in the booming pre-owned luxury watch market.
Establishing Global Leadership
Chrono24's rapid ascent has solidified it's status as a market leader in over 100 countries. The company’s dedication to transparency and innovation has been instrumental in its success. With the latest funding round, Chrono24’s total raised capital now exceeds €200 million, demonstrating robust investor confidence in it's growth prospects.
A Strategic Partnership
Leclerc’s involvement with Chrono24 extends beyond financial backing; it highlights a growing trend of celebrities investing in tech and digital ventures. His endorsement is expected to draw a younger audience to the platform, further integrating the luxury watch market into the digital age.
