IWC launches Curated: a new digital collectibles platform for watches

IWC’s new curated platform uses blockchain to verify your watch

IWC. CURATED.
IWC

IWC Schaffhausen has recently released IWC Curated, an innovative platform redefining ownership for the modern watch enthusiast. This unique initiative creates a secure digital certificate for each registered timepiece, establishing a new paradigm of provenance, authenticity, and collectibility. IWC Curated acts as a digital vault, a comprehensive life companion for a watch that traces its entire journey — from the meticulous craftsmanship of the Schaffhausen manufacturer to every subsequent chapter written by its successive owners. This commitment to transparency and legacy delivers an unparalleled level of security and storytelling that enhances the intrinsic value of every IWC watch.

A permanent digital legacy for every timepiece

The genius of IWC Curated can certainly be traced back to their mantra of elegant simplicity and dynamic design. Each watch enrolled in the program receives a distinct digital certificate, a non-transferable digital record stored securely on the blockchain that serves as an inviolable proof of ownership and authenticity. This certificate is a dynamic digital passport, permitting owners to access their watch’s complete history, including its original configuration, service records, and more. The platform introduces the potential for exclusive digital collectibles to create a richer, more immersive ownership experience that connects the collector directly to the soul of their timepiece.

Enhancing value through unparalleled transparency

IWC Curated has transformed the acquisition process from a simple transaction into the beginning of a curated relationship. The platform safeguards the provenance and integrity of a watch forever, thereby enhancing its retail value on the secondary market. It maintains a certified chain of custody, protects the heritage and craftsmanship of each physical watch, and ensures its story is preserved for generations to come.

IWC ushers forth the future of collecting

With IWC Curated, the manufacturer has seamlessly blended its distinct heritage with the latest technology. This platform is a groundbreaking enhancement to the art of collecting, offering exclusive access and a permanent legacy for every watch that bears the IWC name.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
