Covert marks on precious metals and movements
Watch and jewellery counterfeits now include convincing movements and hallmarks. SNOWLEOPARD® inscribes an invisible code into metal components without affecting finish or value.
Replicas that survive expert inspection
Counterfeit case backs, dials and papers are produced to a standard that requires disassembly to challenge.
Cloned references
Case, dial and bracelet details are reproduced so closely that visual authentication requires opening the watch.
Mixed genuine and fake parts
Service replacements and aftermarket components blur the line between original and modified pieces.
Forged certificates
Warranty cards and certificates are duplicated, so paperwork alone cannot establish provenance.
Etched where it will never be polished away
Submicron codes are applied to concealed metal surfaces, surviving wear, service and refinishing.
- Case backs and lugs
- Bracelet links and clasps
- Movement bridges and rotors
- Ring shanks and settings
- Certificates and warranty cards
Provenance confirmed without disassembly
Retailers, service centres and auction houses reveal the covert mark in seconds with a breath of vapor.
