Aikakone checks the reference, serial format, production year, and documented provenance you submit for inconsistencies. It cannot inspect the physical watch, movement, materials, or photos—and it cannot determine whether a watch is genuine or detect a superclone.
We compare the submitted serial format, reference, model, and production year with the reference information available to Aikakone. A mismatch is a prompt to investigate, not proof of a counterfeit.
The model summarizes data-level conflicts and known risk context. It does not see movement finishing, engravings, materials, or other physical details needed to identify a replica.
A physical inspection by an authorized dealer or qualified watchmaker remains necessary for an authentication conclusion. An in-platform expert workflow is planned, not currently available.
Validates the serial number format against known patterns for the brand. Catches obvious format mismatches.
Verifies the reference number exists, matches the stated model, and was produced in the claimed year range.
Notes when a reference is commonly replicated. A data-only screen cannot identify whether the submitted watch is a superclone.
Flags conflicts between the submitted serial format, reference, production year, and claimed configuration. It cannot inspect parts.
Validates that the serial number range is consistent with the claimed production year for the brand.
Confirms that the reference number matches the stated model, dial configuration, and case material.
Important
This automated screen checks submitted reference, serial-format, production-year, and provenance data for inconsistencies. It does not inspect the physical watch, movement, materials, or photos and cannot authenticate a watch or detect a superclone. A result with no data conflicts does not increase or guarantee physical authenticity. For an authentication conclusion, consult an authorized dealer or qualified watchmaker who can inspect the watch in person.
Register your watch and run a free data-consistency screen to learn which claims may deserve hands-on verification.
