We know that when you spot a watch you love, you want answers fast. We built WatchID directly into our mobile experience so that finding your dream watch is as easy as taking a picture.
STEP 1: Snap or Save a Photo
A clear, head-on shot works best
Take a picture of the watch in front of you, or save a screenshot of a watch you saw on social media or a video.
STEP 2: Upload to WatchID
Navigate to the WatchID tool on the SwissWatchExpo website from your mobile device and upload your photo.
RESULT: Get an instant match
WatchID instantly scans the image, identifies the timepiece, and pulls up exact or highly similar matches from our inventory.
More Than Just Identification
Identifying a watch is only half the fun. Because WatchID is integrated directly with SwissWatchExpo—the #1 choice retailer of authentic pre-owned luxury watches—the app connects your discovery directly to actionable next steps.
- Shop Your Match: Once the watch is identified, you can immediately browse our inventory of over 3,000 in-stock, ready-to-ship luxury watches. If we have it, you can buy it on the spot with our secure checkout and same-day priority shipping.
