AN INFALSIFIABLE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
The Watch Certificate™ standardizes the certification of a watch and certifies its condition and authenticity. To go into more detail, it's a digital passport which, after expert appraisal, guarantees that a model is original and compliant. This “grey card”, which can be consulted online at any time, lists all the watch's characteristics. Any intervention (maintenance service) approved by a Watch Certificate-certified watchmaker can be added to keep the information on the timepiece up to date. This certificate is also a trusted third party in the event of theft, which you can produce to the police, the insurance company, the manufacturer, etc. It indicates the current market value of your watch. It indicates the current market value of your watch, which can be used as an appraisal for approved value insurance. In practice, the Watch Certificate comes in the form of a 28-gram brushed steel card, the size of a credit card, which respects the codes of luxury. Equipped with a QR code, it gives instant access to the entire history of your timepiece.
OPERATION AND EXPERTISE
The Watch Certificate™ is produced 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 in 53 control points and take high-definition photographs using the "Inspection Box", a machine that standardizes the shooting. These control points include, among others: the serial number, the movement, the bracelet, etc. The conformity of the parts is also scrupulously studied. Original or so-called "service" parts, everything is assessed. 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 then be able to carry out a careful analysis of the control points provided, complete the information if necessary to finally validate the complete expertise of the watch. Watch Certificate experts are independent and work mainly for auction houses and/or major national and international merchant sites. They participate in the writing of specialist watchmaking works 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 thus offers a triple guarantee valid over time: that of GWC collector's watch specialists, that of a GWC watchmaker approved by the biggest brands and that of an independent watch expert.
