How it works
One minute to read. Five steps, repeated over time, that turn photographs into a Record.
- 01
Register your watch
Brand, model, and whatever details you have: reference, serial number, purchase date. Two of these fields are enough to start.
- 02
Capture it
A guided session from your phone, about two minutes: dial, bezel, side, then a short burst while you slowly tilt the watch. The camera frames each shot for you and checks every photo on the spot.
- 03
Your Record is sealed
When the session is complete, it is sealed with a cryptographic hash covering every original photograph, the capture conditions, and the previous seal. Nothing in a sealed session can be altered afterwards, by you or by us.
- 04
Update it over time
One short session a month. Each one adds a dated, sealed link to the chain.
- 05
Use your Record
Theft report, resale, insurance documentation: your Record shows what the watch is, what it looks like, and that its history has been kept intact, with a public verification page you can share without revealing your identity.
Why repeated captures matter
A single photo session proves little: anyone can photograph a watch once. A chain of sealed sessions, spread over months, in different light and settings, is a different object entirely. Each session adds a dated link that cannot be recreated retroactively. That accumulated, verifiable history is what gives a Record its value.
Individual watch identification is in development. Jicho does not certify authenticity and does not sell insurance today: we build the file that makes your watch insurable.
