Challenges Facing the Watch & Jewelry Industry

High-value items with strong resale demand make watches and jewelry prime targets for counterfeiting and fraud.

Sophisticated Counterfeits

Modern fake watches and jewelry are increasingly difficult to distinguish from genuine items, even for trained experts and dealers.

Pre-Owned Market Fraud

The booming secondhand market is flooded with counterfeits, 'Franken-watches' assembled from mixed parts, and misrepresented items.

Certificate Forgery

Paper certificates of authenticity and warranty cards are easily forged, making traditional authentication methods unreliable.

Insurance & Valuation Issues

Without reliable authentication, insurance claims, estate valuations, and collateral assessments become contested and unreliable.

Service & Warranty Fraud

Counterfeit items are presented for warranty service, and unauthorized repairs with fake parts compromise genuine timepieces.

Brand Dilution

The prevalence of counterfeits erodes the exclusivity and perceived value that premium watch and jewelry brands depend on.

What Your Customers Worry About

Buyers of watches and jewelry — whether new or pre-owned — need absolute confidence in authenticity.

Cannot verify if a pre-owned watch is genuine before purchasing

Paper certificates and boxes are easily forged and don't prove authenticity

Fear of paying premium prices for sophisticated counterfeits

Uncertainty about service history and whether parts have been replaced

Difficulty proving authenticity for insurance or resale purposes

Risk of buying 'Franken-watches' assembled from mixed genuine and fake parts

How TAGBASE Solves This

Our NFC-based trust infrastructure gives each watch and piece of jewelry a unique, cryptographically secured digital identity — for life.

Clone-Resistant NFC Identity

A cryptographically secured NFC tag is embedded in the case, clasp, or setting. It is designed to resist cloning, removal and transfer to a counterfeit item.

Instant Buyer Verification

Buyers tap the item with any NFC-enabled smartphone to instantly verify authenticity, view ownership history, and confirm service records — no app needed.

Resale & Insurance Proof

Digital authentication creates an immutable record of provenance that simplifies resale, insurance claims, and estate valuations.

Ownership & Service History

Track ownership transfers, service events, and part replacements on a tamper-resistant digital record linked to the physical item.

Give Every Timepiece a Digital Certificate of Authenticity

A secure entry point to the EU Digital Product Passport

The European Union is introducing digital product passports (DPP) across a growing number of industries. Brands that sell in the EU will need to provide detailed product data — from materials and origin to sustainability metrics — accessible via a digital carrier on the product.

TAGBASE is not a DPP solution provider and does not make a product DPP compliant. A clone-resistant NFC tag (NXP NTAG 424 DNA) can prove with two taps that this physical item is genuine before its DPP data is shown. DPP content comes from specialized providers. TAGBASE is building partnerships with those providers in each industry.

Verification analytics

Turn every scan into Actionable insight

Every time someone verifies one of your products, TAGBASE captures valuable data points and makes them available to you — giving you full visibility into how, where, and when your products are being interacted with in the real world.

Device & Browser details
Know which phone model, operating system, and browser was used for each verification — useful for understanding your customer demographics.
Timestamp & frequency
See exactly when each product was scanned, how often, and detect unusual patterns like repeated verifications that may indicate suspicious activity.
Geolocation data
When the user shares their location, you get precise geolocation. Otherwise, we still provide country-level data — helping you spot grey market activity or regional demand.
Portal analytics & raw data export
View all statistics directly in the TAGBASE portal, or export the raw data to feed into your existing ERP systems and run your own custom analytics.
