As an Entrupy Verified Business, we use one of the most advanced and trusted authentication systems available for luxury goods. Entrupy’s proprietary AI-powered product verification technology is recognised by leading resale businesses worldwide - developed with input from leading experts in visual recognition technology, data science and the luxury sector, combining cutting-edge machine learning with decades of brand knowledge.

The process begins with high-magnification microscopic imaging, capturing extraordinary detail far beyond what the human eye can see. Each item is examined using a specialised optical device that captures ultra-high-resolution images capable of magnifying the smallest nuances — the grain of leather, the weave of fabric, the precision of brand stamps, the lustre of metals and the machining of hardware. These images reveal features invisible to the human eye, allowing for a level of scrutiny unmatched by manual inspection alone.

Luxury watches demand highly specialised evaluation. Each watch at Luxe.It.Fwd is examined by an independent watch expert with technical training in fine horology and brand-specific manufacturing standards.

The inspection begins with the movement — the heart of the watch. The expert verifies that the calibre matches the brand’s specifications, checks the integrity and finishing of internal components, and confirms that the mechanical or quartz system operates as intended. Serial and model numbers are documented and cross-referenced against known production records and brand archives to ensure proper origin and authenticity.

Every visible and concealed element is studied: the case and bezel for correct proportions and hallmarks; the crown and pushers for design consistency and water resistance integrity; and the bracelet or strap for matching reference numbers, stamping and quality of construction. Even the clasp, screws and end links are assessed for originality and correct finishing.

The specialist also evaluates signs of previous servicing or modification, to ensure that each timepiece has genuine parts and is not using non-original replacement parts.

This rigorous approach ensures every timepiece we offer is genuine, mechanically sound and represented with the accuracy collectors and discerning buyers expect.
