SCORE
The first structured scoring system designed specifically for certified luxury watches. A single dynamic score capturing current market value, rarity index and condition integrity, continuously updated from live market data.

What it is
The SCORE is not a price. It is a structured, continuously updated indicator that aggregates three independent components into a single reference point for every certified watch.
It does not replace the judgment of a buyer, seller or financial institution. It gives all parties a shared, verifiable baseline from which to make their own informed decisions.
Components
Value
Aggregated from 300+ sources including public secondary market platforms, private sales networks, dealer channels and closed collector communities. Reflects what the market is actually paying for this reference today.
Rarity
Production volume, reference status, edition characteristics and collector demand for the specific reference. Quantifies the structural scarcity of the piece within its reference category, independent of current market sentiment.
Integrity
The only component that reflects this specific watch, not its reference category. Drawn directly from the physical examination: authenticity, condition across 99 criteria, service history and chain of custody documentation.
Score tiers
The SCORE runs from 0 to 100. Each range corresponds to a structured position across the three components, reflecting both the certified condition of the watch and its current market standing.
Update cycle
At the Ultra level, the watch remains in secure vault custody for the duration of certification. The physical asset is sealed and does not move. Ownership transfers digitally. The certified record accumulates. The SCORE updates continuously.
The physical examination. The condition assessment. The photographic record. The provenance documentation. Established at the time of examination, anchored permanently in the registry. Each re-examination adds a new dated layer without replacing the original.
The Value and Rarity components of the SCORE reflect live market data. A watch certified six months ago carries the same permanent condition record, but its SCORE reflects current market conditions. The Integrity component updates only upon re-examination.
Ultra level
At the Ultra certification level, the watch is held in a secure vault partner facility for the duration of the certification period. This physical custody is required, not optional. It is what allows the Integrity component of the SCORE to remain continuously verified rather than assessed only at point of examination.
Applications
Insurers
Replace self-declared value with an independent, continuously updated scoring indicator. Reduce declaration fraud. Verify value at claim time from a permanent, dated baseline.
Private Banks
SCORE provides a structured, auditable reference point for Lombard credit assessment. Updated continuously, independent of the borrower's own valuation, anchored to a physical certified examination.
Family Offices
A certified collection with live SCORE data is an asset class with structured, reportable valuation. Accurate for tax, succession planning and portfolio reporting.
Every certified watch receives a SCORE automatically. The Integrity component is drawn from the physical examination. Value and Rarity are applied immediately from live market data.
