The challenge

Watch insurance fraud costs billions.
Most of it is preventable.

High-value timepiece insurance operates on trust. Policyholders describe what they own. Appraisers estimate what it's worth. When a claim arrives, the insurer has no reliable way to confirm the claimed watch is the same watch that was originally covered — or that it was genuine in the first place. The result is an industry-wide exposure to fraud, substitution, and inflated claims.

How Realwatch helps

From underwriting to claims resolution.
Scientific certainty at every step.

Realwatch replaces assumptions with evidence. Every enrolled watch has a permanent physical identity — a dual-primitive record that cannot be forged, swapped, or fabricated after the fact.

Verify before you underwrite

Require Realwatch enrollment at policy inception. The dual-primitive scan confirms the watch is genuine and creates a permanent physical identity tied to the policy. You know exactly what you're insuring — not what a photo or appraisal suggests.

Tamper-evident claim verification

When a claim arrives, re-scan the watch and compare it against the enrollment record. The tamper-evident ledger proves whether this is the same physical watch that was originally covered — instantly and objectively, with no room for ambiguity.

Reduce fraudulent claims

The permanent physical identity makes common fraud vectors impossible. A different watch cannot be substituted. A counterfeit cannot pass as genuine. An inflated claim cannot survive comparison against the enrollment record. The deterrent effect alone reduces claim frequency.

Defensible evidence

Every authentication record is cryptographically signed, timestamped, and independently verifiable. When a claim is disputed — by the policyholder, a solicitor, or a regulator — the evidence speaks for itself. No expert testimony required.

The insurer lifecycle

Authentication that follows the policy
from inception to resolution.

Realwatch integrates into your existing workflow at every stage of the policy lifecycle. No hardware required — the policyholder's phone captures everything.

01 · Inception

Enroll at binding

The policyholder scans the watch with their phone. Realwatch captures both the dial fingerprint and the movement signature, creating a dual-primitive enrollment record linked to the policy.

02 · Coverage

Periodic re-verification

At renewal or on-demand, the policyholder can re-verify the watch. Each verification is recorded in the tamper-evident ledger, building a continuous chain of custody throughout the coverage period.

03 · Claim

Instant comparison

When a claim is filed, the watch is re-scanned and compared against the original enrollment. The system confirms whether it is the same physical watch — or flags a mismatch for further investigation.

04 · Resolution

Clear evidence

The tamper-evident record provides definitive proof: matching identity confirms the claim is legitimate; a mismatch provides grounds for denial. Either way, the evidence is objective, verifiable, and defensible.

A single fraudulent high-value watch claim can exceed six figures. Realwatch enrollment costs a fraction of that — and once a watch is enrolled, every subsequent verification is an instant comparison against an immutable record. The ROI isn't theoretical. It's arithmetic.
