Understanding Watch Authentication and Counterfeits

Guide to Understanding Watch Authentication and Counterfeits

When you’re shopping for a luxury watch, you expect that you’re purchasing a genuine model from a popular designer, rather than an expensive fake. Learning about the subtle details that can distinguish a real designer watch from a counterfeit helps ensure you don’t fall prey to a scam. Our LV Luxury Jewelers watch boutiques on the Las Vegas Strip have expert staff who can help you find the right watch manufacturer for your collection, as well as educate you on what truly separates a counterfeit timepiece from its authentic counterparts.

Research and Shop with Professionals in Watch Authentication

Getting duped by a counterfeit watch can be a frustrating and costly error. To avoid purchasing a subpar product, it’s vital to know the telltale signs that indicate each designer watch is genuine, so you can more easily detect when they are not. Paying attention to brand-specific details such as logos, engraved details, branding, and serial numbers is one way to know for sure. Fake watches often feature botched engravings, spelling errors, or incorrect serial numbers. Another important factor to observe is the presence, or lack thereof, of documentation. An authentic designer watch will always come with extensive documentation to ensure that your watch is genuine and originated straight from the manufacturer.

If you want to be certain that a watch you own is legitimate, getting it authenticated by horology experts is a surefire way to do so. With their expertise, you can know once and for all that your watch is real. Similarly, when you shop at watch stores renowned for their quality and trustworthiness, you can take comfort in knowing that anything you purchase from them is nothing short of perfection. At LV Luxury Jewelers Las Vegas watch boutiques, Bellusso, Horologio, and within The Shops at Crystal, our skilled horologists can help you authenticate your favorite timepieces for peace of mind that your beloved treasures are everything they are supposed to be..
