Overview

This scraper is designed to extract watch data from the Chronext website (https://www.chronext.de/kaufen). It collects detailed information about luxury watches, including their specifications, pricing, and availability.

How it works

Features

• Extracts detailed watch information including name, price, condition, specifications, and images
• Handles pagination to scrape multiple pages of results
• Configurable maximum number of items to scrape
• Adjustable concurrency settings for optimal performance
