An appraisal certificate, issued by a certified expert, will enable you to assert all your rights regarding your watch, whether it is an antique or a modern model, a luxury heirloom or an item of sentimental value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Which authority is responsible for issuing a watch’s certificate of authenticity?<\/h2>\n\n

There are several professionals who can provide a valuation for a watch. These include an auctioneer with expertise in horology, a watchmaker from the relevant brand, or an expert whose profession and working hours are entirely devoted to this task. <\/p>\n\n

When assessing value, several factors must be taken into consideration: the history of the brand or the watch itself, its technical specifications, the reputation of the watchmaker, or the desirability of the model\u2026<\/p>\n\n

What are the key elements of a certificate of expertise?<\/h2>\n\n

All of the aforementioned factors pertaining to ‘market value’ require a general understanding of the market and the world of watchmaking. However, other, far more complex factors will make the difference. These factors can also influence a watch’s value. <\/p>\n\n

In fact, it is the authenticity of the watch \u2013 and therefore of every single component it comprises \u2013 that must be certified. As such, many watches may be only partially authentic. A single counterfeit or non-genuine part can cause its value to plummet. <\/p>\n\n

It is a thorough understanding of the world of watchmaking, combined with experience in handling timepieces on a daily basis, that will enable us to provide the most accurate valuation of your watch. Consequently, consulting a certified expert will lend greater credibility to the valuation. <\/p>\n\n
