Counterfeiting in jewelry and watches

Counterfeiting in the jewelry and watch industry has a substantial impact on both the manufacturers’ income and their brand image. Cypheme offers a high-tech anti-counterfeit solution designed to prevent the expansion of this world-wide problem.

As a consequence of the booming demand for exports, counterfeiting is rampant in the jewelry and watch industry. Fraud can take many forms, from rudimentary copies to grey counterfeiting. Sometimes, fraudsters go as far as reproducing products almost identically in factories, making it virtually impossible for the untrained eye to differentiate between the genuine products and their fake copies. Not only do these malpractices amount to a substantial loss of revenue, they also constitute unfair competition which make it difficult for brands to penetrate new markets and have serious consequences on brand image. Oftentimes, customers will have paid a high price for a faulty counterfeit product, leading them to associate poor quality to your brand.

There are just no safe distribution channels! In entire geographical areas (Asia, Africa, the Middle East…) there is simply no way to be sure of buying authentic products, even when paying high prices.

The Cypheme solution

A tag has been affixed to this packaging, giving it a unique and impossible to duplicate identifier. A simple photo makes it possible to recognize this identifier with certainty and confidence.

Authentication can be done via the brand’s or Cypheme’s WeChat and Facebook Messenger accounts or their respective Android or iOs applications.

Our solutions provide the best protection against counterfeiting in order to:
  • minimize revenue loss;
  • protect consumers from harmful substances.
And they also open up an array of new possibilities such as:
  • informing the consumer about product characteristics (e.g.: material, care instructions);
  • sharing personalized marketing content with customers;
  • increasing customer interaction with e-commerce site;
  • driving customer loyalty;
  • once a picture is taken, a geolocation option is activated, allowing the tracking of both genuine and counterfeit products.

Integrating Cypheme

We will work with you in order to select the most appropriate solution according to your needs.
