Overall Appearance: At Zurichberg, we meticulously examine the watch for any signs of poor craftsmanship, such as rough edges, uneven finishes, or misaligned elements. Authentic luxury watches are known for their impeccable finishes and attention to detail, ensuring that every part looks and feels premium.

Dial and Hands: We inspect the dial for the correct fonts, logo placement, and quality of the hands. The printing on genuine watches is precise and flawless, and the hands are perfectly aligned and finished with high-quality materials.

Case and Back: Our experts closely examine the case for engravings, hallmarks, and the overall quality of the materials used. The back of the case should have proper markings, engravings, and sometimes even holograms that authenticate its origin.

Magnification: Using a loupe or magnifying glass, we inspect fine details, such as the printing on the dial, engravings, and the movement components. These details should be crisp and clear, without any imperfections.

Minute Details: We look for tiny details that counterfeiters often miss, such as specific engravings, micro-logos, or design elements unique to the brand. These small features are often the hallmark of an authentic watch.

Movement Serial Numbers: We verify the serial numbers on the movement and compare them with the manufacturer's records. Each watch should have a unique serial number that matches the official records.

Quality of Movement: Our experts inspect the movement for craftsmanship, the presence of the manufacturer's logo, and the overall quality of the components. Genuine movements are meticulously crafted and feature high-quality materials and finishing.

Serial Numbers on Case and Papers: We check the serial numbers on the watch case, movement, and any other relevant parts. These numbers should match the official records provided by the manufacturer.

Documentation: At Zurichberg, we verify the watch's accompanying paperwork, such as the warranty card, certificates of authenticity, and purchase receipts. These documents should match the watch's details and provide proof of its origin and authenticity.

Weight: We compare the weight of the watch to known standards for that model. Genuine luxury watches use high-quality materials that often result in a specific weight, giving them a solid and substantial feel.

Material Quality: Our experts examine the materials used in the watch, such as the type of metal, crystal, and any precious stones. Authentic watches use high-grade materials that are carefully selected and finished.

Luminous Material: Our experts inspect the luminous material used on the hands and markers. Authentic luxury watches have high-quality lume that glows consistently and brightly, even in low-light conditions.

Crystal: We verify the type of crystal used (sapphire, mineral, etc.) and check for anti-reflective coatings and any logos etched onto the crystal. Genuine watches often use sapphire crystal, which is highly scratch-resistant and clear.

Bracelet Quality: At Zurichberg, we examine the bracelet or strap for the quality of materials, finishing, and construction. Authentic bracelets are made from premium materials and have a high-quality finish.

Clasp and Buckle: We check the clasp or buckle for proper functioning, engravings, and the overall quality of construction. The clasp should operate smoothly and securely, and any engravings should be clear and precise.

Reference Guides: At Zurichberg, we use reference materials, databases, and guides specific to the brand and model to compare details. These resources can provide valuable information on what to look for in an authentic watch.

Expert Consultation: If necessary, we consult with other experts or the manufacturer for additional verification. Experienced watchmakers and experts can provide insights and confirm the authenticity of a watch.

These detailed descriptions reflect Zurichberg's commitment to ensuring the authenticity of every watch through a thorough and meticulous verification process.
