Guides to watch provenance

What provenance is, why it matters when you buy or sell a watch, and how TIMEVAULT® keeps the record.

• Digital Watch Passport

  A digital passport for your watch: one tamper-evident record of its registration, ownership, service history and insurance that moves with the watch when you sell it.

• Watch Provenance Certificate

  What a watch provenance certificate is, what it should contain, and how a digital certificate on TIMEVAULT® records a watch's ownership history in a form that is hard to forge.

• Pre-Owned and Second-Hand Watch Provenance

  Buying or selling a pre-owned, second-hand or certified pre-owned watch? See how a TIMEVAULT® provenance record gives buyers a checkable history and sellers a stronger listing.

• Stolen Watch Check UK

  How to check whether a watch has been reported lost or stolen before you buy it, and what to do if your own watch goes missing, using TIMEVAULT® and the Watch Register.

• Watch Service History Record

  Keep a verified service history for your watch. Service partners log each service on TIMEVAULT®, issue a certificate with a QR code, and the owner can opt in to reminders when the next one is due.

• For Watch Dealers and Auction Houses

  Give every watch you sell a verified provenance record. TIMEVAULT® helps watch dealers, certified pre-owned programmes and auction houses register stock and hand the record to the buyer.
