| ![]() WatchCert Launches on iOS & Android: AI-Powered Luxury Watch Authentication in Under 3 MinutesApp delivers instant 100-point inspection report and appraisal for luxury watches in under 3 minutes.
WatchCert is designed to tackle one of the biggest problems in the secondary luxury watch market: counterfeits. With millions of second-hand transactions taking place every year, many buyers make purchases without expert guidance or authentication, leaving them vulnerable to costly mistakes. Using WatchCert, users simply upload high-quality photos of their timepiece to receive a detailed report that examines every visible component, including the dial, hands, case, crown, clasp, strap, and serial numbers. When the movement is visible, WatchCert's proprietary AI engine—trained on over 50,000 reference documents, including manufacturer archives and verified records—can also assess its authenticity. The result is a thorough inspection, appraisal, and final recommendation that provides buyers with a vital layer of confidence before making high-value decisions. "Nothing will ever replace a trained watchmaker's ability to physically examine and validate the movement of a luxury timepiece," said a spokesperson for Four Leaf Clover Ventures. "But the reality is that millions of second-hand buyers—both online and in person—purchase and sell luxury watches every year without any authentication. WatchCert offers an essential first layer of security and peace of mind. When your watch costs thousands of dollars, this is a critical step in your purchase journey." In addition to instant reports, WatchCert users can also book a one-on-one online consultation with a professional watchmaker for deeper analysis and personalized discussion, bridging the gap between AI efficiency and human expertise. WatchCert is available now on iOS and Android:
