Introduction
In a market where counterfeits are on the rise and original papers can be lost, forged, or incomplete, an independent digital certificate has become the only modern and universal proof of authenticity. More and more collectors and professionals are relying on this innovation to protect, enhance, and pass on their luxury watches with complete peace of mind.
The limits of original papers
The documents provided by the brand upon purchase do not guarantee absolute security.
They can be easily forged or replaced with fake documents.
They are fragile and perishable : a simple loss or deterioration considerably reduces the value of the watch.
They do not trace the life of the object : maintenance, repairs, changes of owners.
Result: a watch without papers or with dubious papers immediately loses part of its value on the market.
The added value of the digital certificate
The digital luxury watch certificate offers independent and immutable proof of authenticity.
It combines the serial number, high definition photos, and all the technical characteristics of the watch.
Each event (revision, repair, transfer of ownership) is time-stamped and recorded, guaranteeing total traceability.
Unlike the original papers, it cannot be lost or falsified, and remains available for life .
A major impact on resale and insurance
A digital certificate is now a competitive advantage when reselling:
Buyers are willing to pay more for a watch whose authenticity and history are certified.
Auction houses and specialized platforms facilitate the transaction further when a certificate is provided.
On the insurance side, it becomes a reference document to justify the real value of the object and simplify declarations in the event of a claim or theft.
