Long-form 150-word description
WatchRadar is an iPhone-only AI watch authentication app. Users take five guided photographs of a watch — dial, bezel, crown, case, and finishing — and the on-device AI model returns a region-by-region inspection diagram with a verdict (Likely Authentic, Uncertain, or High Risk), a market-value estimate (low / typical / high band with an asking-price fairness check), and the option to issue a signed Authenticity Certificate with a public verification page resolved by QR code. The reference catalogue spans Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Omega, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Vacheron Constantin and Tudor at the production-year level for high-volume references. WatchRadar is built for collectors documenting their watch box, resellers running an AI verification pipeline at intake, and pre-purchase buyers vetting a Chrono24 or eBay listing before they commit. Free on the App Store; per-certificate fee for issued certificates.

Common story angles
- The AI. On-device AI (computer vision + reference matching) runs the region-by-region inspection on five guided iPhone photographs. No cloud upload required for the verdict. SwiftUI + Core ML.
- The market. Counterfeit watch production has crossed the threshold where high-grade replicas are a real category — USD 1,500–4,500 per fake, targeting specific high-premium references. The economics piece at /blog/economics-fake-watches-2026/ has the data.
- The buyer-protection angle. Pre-purchase inspection on iPhone for under-USD-15k watch transactions. Replaces the in-store loupe-and-clipboard inspection for the long tail of secondary-market sales.
- The certificate angle. Public, third-party-verifiable Authenticity Certificates with QR resolution. Sellers embed in Chrono24 and eBay listings; close-rate improves; dispute risk drops.
- The reseller-tooling angle. A small / mid-size watch dealer's verification pipeline runs end-to-end on iPhone. /blog/consignment-pipeline-iphone/ walks the workflow.
