The service shutdown in August 2018 due to financing issues.[3]

Eleven James offered vintage watch styles as well as popular luxury brands including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Breitling and more.[4] 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.[5]

History

Eleven James was founded in 2013 by Randy Brandoff, former NetJets CMO.[6] Brandoff also helped to launch Tequila Avion, a spirits brand made popular by the HBO series “Entourage,” where he was a co-founder and principal prior to the company's sale to Pernod Ricard in 2014.[7]

Since launching Eleven James in 2014, the company raised $6.72 million in a Series A investment.[4] As of January 2017, Eleven James raised $30 million of additional capital.[2] To date, Eleven James has secured $38.12 million in funding from both private investors and corporations including BoxGroup, Kenny Dichter, and Jason Saltzman.[8]
