Eleven James
Eleven James was an online subscription rental service for luxury watches. It was founded in 2013 in New York City and offers both men's and women's timepieces.
The service shutdown in August 2018 due to a lack of investments.
Eleven James offered vintage watch styles as well as popular luxury brands including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Breitling and more. Eleven James was often referred to as the "Netflix of watches" due to their subscription model which operated much like the disc rental plans from Netflix.
