OPERATION AND EXPERTISE
The Watch Certificate™ is carried out by watchmaking professionals: a GWC watchmaker who physically inspects the watch and an independent expert, assisted by artificial intelligence.
To produce this certificate, a GWC vintage expert and an approved GWC watchmaker will physically check the watch at 53 checkpoints and take high-definition photographs using the “Inspection Box”, a machine that allows the shooting to be standardized. Among these control points we find among others: the serial number, the movement, the bracelet... The conformity of the parts is also scrupulously studied. Original or so-called “service” parts, everything is appraised. The historical or technical context can also be mentioned in order to place the timepiece in its environment.
Then, an independent expert from the Watch Certificate company receives the photos and the report, which will allow him to carry out the expertise. He will thus be able to carry out a careful analysis of the control points provided, supplementing the information if necessary to finally validate the complete expertise of the watch. Watch Certificate experts are independent and carry out their activity mainly for auction houses and/or commercial sites of national and international scale. They participate in the writing of specialized works on watchmaking and may be required to collaborate with the courts in the context of legal expertise.
For any watch collector, the Watch Certificate™ offered by GWC offers a triple guarantee valid over time: that of specialists in GWC collector's watches, that of a GWC watchmaker approved by the biggest brands and that of an expert independent watchmaker.
