Authenticity & Traceability

Every Crown & Calibre watch carries a unique serial number registered at our Manchester workshop. Verify origin, assembly date and warranty status — complete transparency from workshop to wrist.

Why it matters

Nothing hidden, nothing assumed

The pre-owned watch market has grown substantially, and with it the risk of counterfeits and misrepresented pieces. At Crown & Calibre, we believe every customer deserves certainty about what they are buying.

Our authenticity programme assigns each watch a unique reference at the point of final inspection. This reference is linked to the movement serial, case number, assembly date, regulating results and registered owner — creating a complete record you can verify at any time.

The journey

From workshop to wrist

Registration

Upon passing final inspection, each watch is assigned a Crown & Calibre serial number (format CC-YYYY-XXXXX) and entered into our secure registry.

Certificate issued

A printed certificate of authenticity accompanies every watch, detailing model reference, movement calibre, case material and assembly date.

Owner transfer

When a watch changes hands, the new owner may register their details with us to activate warranty cover and update the ownership record.
