The Company
REUP is a venture-backed luxury watch brand and startup founded by Wharton, Berkeley and GIA grads. We are changing the way luxury watches and jewelry are bought and sold. REUP allows individuals to sell their watches or jewelry to retailers for market-based prices, extremely easily.

We are on a mission to use data to bring fairness and transparency to an opaque market -- luxury watches & jewelry.

Our Buyers play a key role as the front line of the Company interacting with sellers - our customers - inspecting and photographing items - our assets, and approving purchases.
