METAL AUTHENTICITY CARDS

Identity,
made tangible.

Premium material objects designed to accompany products of value with an individual, persistent identity and controlled access to the corresponding digital record.

MATERIAL OBJECT

Metal, hybrid construction, finish, thickness and marking are developed in relation to the product and packaging.

CROSS-REFERENCED DATA

Visible serials, QR or Data Matrix, NFC identifiers and production records can be generated and checked as one coordinated set.

CONNECTED CONTINUITY

The physical identity can support provenance, service history and selected second-life experiences through the chosen digital platform.

Hybrid construction where material and interaction require it.
DATA INTEGRITY

A record is only as strong
as its correspondence.

Each project defines which identifiers are visible, machine-readable or encoded. The relationship between object, product, packaging and digital record can then be verified throughout the production series.

ASSURANCE ARCHITECTURE

Say precisely
what the system proves.

An authenticity object can support identification, provenance, verification or authentication. These are not interchangeable claims. The correct language depends on the identifier, security technology, enrolment process, backend and operational controls.

Identify

Recognise the intended product or record through an individual reference.

Associate

Cross-check the card, product, packaging and production data as one controlled set.

Verify

Evaluate the presented identifier and record against defined platform logic.

Authenticate

Use security capabilities and controlled credentials appropriate to the required assurance.

DESIGNED FOR

Individual objects whose identity
must remain legible over time.

Watches and jewellery

Art, editions and collectibles

Leather goods and luxury accessories

Premium components and instruments

QUESTIONS

Authenticity,
defined carefully.

Is identification the same as authentication?+

No. A serial, QR code, Data Matrix or basic NFC identifier can identify an item. Stronger authentication requires suitable secure technology, backend verification and controlled operational processes.

Can the card be linked to an individual product?+

Yes. The project can cross-reference the card, product, packaging, visible marks, optical codes, NFC identifiers and production records at unit level.

Can authenticity information support resale or transfer?+

Potentially, when the brand and its digital platform define ownership, service and transfer workflows. The physical card alone does not establish legal title.

Can a copied QR code be prevented?+

A visible code can be copied. Risk can be reduced through controlled verification logic or secure NFC architectures, selected according to the required assurance level.

Have a product, material or verification architecture in mind?
