Redefining the Bianchet watch ownership experience

Watch Certificate™ and Bianchet are banking on security to jointly redefine the experience for owners of watches created by the independent watchmaker.

Watch Certificate™ provides its services specifically tailored to the unique watches created by Bianchet. This synergy guarantees the security and formalizes the ownership of all Bianchet watches.

All Bianchet watches now come with a digital Watch Certificate™ passport. This is the watch's unique warranty card providing an evolving, verifiable and forgery-proof document to the purchaser.

The Watch Certificate™ is activated directly by Bianchet as soon as it leaves the manufacture or by the retailer following in-store purchase by the future owner. It includes the unique features that define each Bianchet watch, its serial numbers as well as several high-definition photographs. This data that makes up the Watch Certificate™ is stored in the form of an NFT registered in a public blockchain, ensuring its security and longevity in an unrivalled way.

Following purchase, the new owner receives ownership of the watch through their Watch Certificate™ digital passport, which they keep in their smartphone's native wallet, with no need to download any apps.

Thanks to the Watch Certificate™, Bianchet creates an unbreakable, enduring bond with its watches and their current and future owners.

With Watch Certificate™, Bianchet offers a wide range of services, including a direct line of communication between the owner and the manufacture, the possibility of certifying the value of one's watch with one's insurer, access to private events, and centralized management of one's watch collection in one place.

Technology at the service of fine watchmaking

Bianchet, renowned for its commitment to precision and elegance in watchmaking, has become a symbol of excellence in the industry. Their dedication to creating watches that transcend time itself aligns perfectly with Watch Certificate™'s mission to provide authenticity, assurance and security in the world of watchmaking. 

"Our partnership with Watch Certificate™, powered by blockchain technology, is a crucial asset for our brand. It offers a decentralized registry that effectively combats counterfeiting and theft, ensuring the security of all our watches. The unalterable digital ownership certificate perfectly links each watch to its rightful owner, reinforcing trust and authenticity in the world of luxury watches. " Rodolfo Festa Bianchet, Founder and CEO of Bianchet

This long-term collaboration will see Watch Certificate™ and Bianchet working closely together to create innovative solutions further strengthening the links between the brand and its current and future customers.

Flying Tourbillon Grande Date B1.618 watches will be delivered with a Passport Watch Certificate™, just like all the models produced by Bianchet.

"Our collaboration with Bianchet marks an important step in our development and proves the confidence shown in us by innovative players in the watchmaking industry. Watch Certificate™ becomes the new standard to serve the brand's interests while offering more benefits to its retail partners as well as to Bianchet watch owners." Guillaume Kuntz, co-founder of Watch Certificate™.

The collaboration between Bianchet and Watch Certificate™ was initiated on the occasion of the launch of the highly anticipated Flying Tourbillon Grande Date B1.618 watch, the first Bianchet production to include the Watch Certificate™ passport, which will now equip all future collections.
